HC Deb 17 December 1969 vol 793 c330W
Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied with the co-operation of manufacturers in the work undertaken by pupils in occupational centres; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

Manufacturers are providing an increasing amount of contract work for senior occupation centres. So far as I am aware these arrangements have given general satisfaction to both sides, and provide a valuable element in the training and occupation of adult mentally disordered persons.
