Mr. Hattersley

There are three Government Training Centres in Wales. By arrangement with the Ministry of Defence, Government training courses are also provided at the Royal Air Force Station at St. Athan. On 10th February, 1969 the number of places was as follows:

The number of places at Port Talbot will be doubled in the next few months and a further centre is to be set up in the West Monmouthshire area by about the end of 1970.
