HC Deb 10 April 1967 vol 744 cc112-3W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Labour what is the total value of financial assistance given by his Department for training personnel in non-Government centres for work in private industry in the Principality of Wales during the year 1966.

Mr. Gunter

An estimated £200,000 was spent by the Ministry in 1966 in Wales on training under the Vocational Training Scheme in technical colleges and employers' establishments and under the scheme of training grants for firms in Development Areas. Other grants were made, for which figures for Wales are not readily available, both to industrial training boards and to individual employers.
