HC Deb 05 November 1969 vol 790 c146W
60. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity whether she will take steps to exempt small traders from the compulsory levy scheme under Section 6(2) of the Industrial Training Act, 1964, in cases where they can receive no advantage.

Mr. Dell

It is for the individual training boards, subject to the First Secretary's approval, to determine the rate and coverage of levy for their own industries. Most boards have in fact exempted the smallest firms or reduced their levy liability.
