§ 52. Mr. Mappasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if she will schedule a Government training centre for the Oldham, Rochdale, Ashton-under-Lyne area to meet the redundancies foreshadowed in the spinning side of the cotton textile industry.
§ Mr. HattersleyWe have no present evidence that there are likely to be substantial redundancies in this area which would materially increase local demand for the accelerated training for skill given at Government training centres. Redundant workers who want and are suitable for such training can obtain it at the Manchester centre, or at any of the other 41 centres where the trade of their choice is taught.
