§ 55. Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that certain small-and medium-sized firms are concerned about the apparent anomalies arising from repayments for training under the Industrial Training Scheme; if he will take steps to remove these anomalies; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HattersleyI am aware of this feeling and so are the Industrial Training Boards concerned. The Boards are keeping the operation of their grants schemes under close review and I will expect them in due course to submit proposals for improvements in the light of experience.
