§ 80. Mr. Hoosonasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what steps are being taken by her Department to encourage people between the ages of 40 and 65 to enter into Government training centres for retraining after redundancy.
§ Mr. HattersleyRedundant workers between the ages of 40 and 65 who appear suitable for the accelerated training for skill given at Government training centres receive the same encouragement to apply as those under 40. Experience has shown, however, that most of the re-training required by redundant workers of all ages is at the semi-skilled operator level, and this is best given by their new employers.
