HC Deb 12 March 1969 vol 779 c309W
105. Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what is the present level of Government grants for apprentice training, including grants for training on off-site facilities in the Northern Region; and how this compares with aid given in the years 1962, 1963 and 1964.

Mr. Hattersley

Since 1964 new schemes of Government grants have been introduced to encourage apprentice training, including training off-the-job, in addition to grant schemes introduced by industrial training boards. But comparative information on the level of aid given is not available.
