HC Deb 28 November 1962 vol 668 c60W
83. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Labour if he is satisfied that the apprenticeship arrangements made by the London West End tailors are adequate to maintain a proper supply of skilled men; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Hare

There is no organisation responsible for training in retail bespoke tailoring, and what is done depends on the decisions of individuals. From the information available to me, these arrangements do not appear to be adequate.
