HC Deb 10 April 1967 vol 744 cc110-1W
33. Mr. Chapman

asked the Minister of Labour if he will state the number of immigrant trainees who have applied for training and have been accepted in each Government training centre for the years 1965 and 1966; and to what extent information regarding the facilities offered is brought to the attention of the voluntary liaison committees in the main industrial cities where immigrant communities live.

Mr. Hattersley

Separate records of immigrant trainees are not maintained, but immigrants are accepted for training provided they satisfy the normal eligibility requirements. No special steps are taken to draw the attention of voluntarily liaison committees to these training facilities, but full information about them is available at every Employment Exchange.
