HC Deb 18 March 1959 vol 602 c38W
87. Mr. Leavey

asked the Minister of Labour what new proposals he has under consideration by which the existing facilities for training and resettlement, already provided by his Department, may be more widely known and applied so that increasing numbers in the cotton industry, and elsewhere, can make use of such services, thereby either equipping themselves with greater skill in their own calling or acquiring new skills for application in new industries.

Mr. Wood

Continuous publicity is given by means of talks by employment officers, the display of posters and the distribution of leaflets, to the facilities for training and resettlement that are available under the Government vocational training schemes. Within the past few months publicity has been intensified in areas which have been designated for the purposes of the resettlement transfer scheme.
