§ 75. Mr. Smallasked the Minister of Labour what arrangements he is making to ensure that employment is likely to be available for those who have successfully completed a course of training at one of the new industrial training centres.
§ Mr. WhitelawThe measures we are taking to improve the national economy, particularly those announced in the Budget debate, are designed to lead to an expansion in industry and a consequent need for more skilled men. Lack of enough skilled men can seriously delay development plans. The full services of our employment exchanges will, of course be available to assist trainees to find suitable employment.
§ 76. Mr. McInnesasked the Minister of Labour what agreements have been reached with the appropriate trade unions on the recognition by these trade unions of those trainees who successfully complete their courses at the new industrial training centres.
