Mr. Godber

Yes. I am proposing to increase the allowances for trainees aged 21 years and over and for certain of those under 21 by amounts of up to £1. Details of the new rates are given below.

These new rates will operate from the first pay week commencing on or after 12th December 1963, and will be applied to trainees at Government Training Centres and to trainees sponsored by my Department at residential training colleges for the disabled, technical and commercial colleges and similar educational establishments, and employers' establishments.
