HC Deb 28 June 1967 vol 749 c114W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Labour what is the approximate number of persons in Wales who are suitable for, and would accept, industrial training but for whom there are no places available at industrial training centres in Wales at the moment.

Mr. Hattersley

On 12th June, 1967 there were 552 people who had been accepted as suitable for training and were awaiting places at Government Training Centres in Wales. On the same date a further 1,120 applications were under consideration. Pressure on Centres in Wales will be eased when the new Centre at Port Talbot opens in 1968–69.
