§ 61. Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Minister of Labour what he estimates the expenditure of his Department on Government training centres will be in 1968 in Scotland and the United Kingdom, respectively; and how this compares with expenditure in 1967.
§ Mr. Hattersley:This information is not readily available for calendar years. Net Ministry of Labour expenditure on all Government Training Centres in Great Britain for the financial year 1966–67 was£6,652,000; for 1967–68 it is expected to be£8,760,000. Separate figures for Scotland are not available, but it is estimated, on the basis of the numbers trained, that expenditure on Scottish Centres was£913,000 in 1966–67, and will be£1,270,000 in 1967–68. The estimates for the financial year 1968–69 will be placed before Parliament shortly.
§ 68. Mr. Mayhewasked the Minister of Labour if he will locate in Woolwich the new Government industrial training centre proposed for South-East London.
§ Mr. Gunter:I am not yet in a position to decide on the precise location of this Centre, but I expect that it will be convenient for Woolwich residents.
