§ Mr. Donald Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what amount of money is owed to the Construction Industry Training Board by those building firms which have already gone into liquidation or been made bankrupt; and what percentage this is of annual income from the levy.
§ Mr. DellExact information is not readily available. But it is understood that the board has written off in bad debts from all causes, and in all sectors of the industry, a total of about £80,000 during the four financial years up to 31st March, 1969. This represents about 0.17 per cent. of the total levy received during those years.
