HC Deb 07 June 1967 vol 747 c235W
Mr. Bessell

asked the Minister of Labour what progress the Road Transport Industrial Training Board has made within its general terms of reference and particularly with reference to the provision of training facilities for drivers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gunter

Since the Board was set up in September, 1966, it has made progress in recruiting the staff it will require for the full discharge of its responsibilities; it has appointed committees to consider various aspects of training, including the training of drivers, and is now preparing proposals for raising a levy and paying grants for training in the industry.
