HC Deb 18 February 1965 vol 706 cc248-9W
65. Mr. Dell

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he proposes to take to extend opportunities for training in the mechanics of export.

Mr. Redhead

Training courses are already widely available and I understand that there are enough places to ensure that no one seriously interested should fail to find one. With my right hon. Friends the Secretary of State for Education and Science and the Minister of Labour, my right hon. Friend is, however, considering whether any changes in the existing arrangements are desirable and whether any action by the Government is required to encourage people to make the fullest use of them.

67. Mr. Snow

asked the President of the Board of Trade what has been the reaction so far of responsible organisations to his proposals for increasing exports.

Mr. Redhead

The measures which my right hon. Friend announced on the 27th January have been very well received.

Mr. Heffer

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will now make a statement on his proposals for increasing exports.

Mr. Redhead

I would refer to the answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for Battersea, South (Mr. Perry) on 1st February.
