HC Deb 29 November 1965 vol 721 c127W
54. Mr. Russell Johnston

asked the Minister of Labour whether he proposes to set up a Government training centre within the Highland area.

Mr. Thornton

No. It would not be possible to find in the Highlands any one site for such a centre within daily travelling distance of a sufficient number of potential trainees. Moreover, industry in the Highlands is not in general of the type with substantial need of the skills taught in the Government training centres.
