HC Deb 08 May 1967 vol 746 cc152-3W
63. Mr. Iremonger

asked the Minister of Labour if he will direct the Construction Industry Training Board to make grants for on-site training of steeplejacks or to require no levy from firms of lightning conductor engineers which receive no benefit from any of the board's training courses.

Mr. Hattersley

We are currently considering proposals submitted by the Construction Industry Training Board to include in its Grants Scheme for 1967–68 provision for the payment of grants for approved on-the-job training in the industry. The proposals cover the on-site training of steeplejacks.
