HC Deb 24 April 1969 vol 782 c104W
38. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will make a statement regarding unsponsored apprenticeships at technical colleges in the Northern Region.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

A number of colleges of further education in the Northern Region offer full-time integrated courses of education and practical training for first-year apprentices. These courses are intended for young people following an apprenticeship and therefore already in employment, although at present a few places are, exceptionally, filled by students unsponsored by an employer.
