HC Deb 24 February 1966 vol 725 c146W
Mr. Wainwright

asked the Minister of Labour if he will give the number of industrial training boards and their whereabouts in the country, and the number of persons engaged thereon; and if he will make a statement on the progress achieved by these boards.

Mr. Gunter

Of the 11 boards so far established one has its head office in Bradford and the others in or near London. It is for each board to determine the staff it requires. Four boards have collected their first levy and paid grants to firms, and one is about to do so. Five are at various stages of drawing up their first proposals for levy and grants. The eleventh board was established yesterday.
