HC Deb 13 April 1970 vol 799 c176W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what new proposals she has to improve the employment prospects for unemployed persons over 45 years of age.

Mr. Dell

The various measures taken by the Government to secure a fuller utilisation of resources are designed to help the unemployed of all ages. I am, however, considering what further steps can be taken to improve training opportunities for older people and thus enhance their prospects of fresh employment.
