§ Mr. P. Thomas:

The industries, numbering 124, having such schemes are listed below. Few of these schemes provide for a central record of apprentices 102W enrolled under them, but where available the figures (and the dates to which they refer) are included in the list. Information about the total intake of apprentices by different industries in 1959 was published in the Ministry of Labour Gazette for June, 1960. Corresponding information for 1960 will be similarly published in June this year.
