HC Deb 14 May 1969 vol 783 c234W
80. Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what action she has taken to relate future training in agriculture to the projected expansion of home output.

Mr. Hattersley

It is the responsibility of the Agricultural, Horticultural and Forestry Industry Training Board to provide or secure the provision of such courses and other training facilities as may be needed to meet the immediate and foreseeable requirements of the industry. The developments being fostered by the Board should help the industry to achieve the gain in productivity which is a key feature of the Government's extended selective expansion programme.
