HC Deb 19 April 1971 vol 815 c350W
Mr. Robert Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will withhold consent from the proposal of the Distributive Industry Training Board to increase its annual levy by 80 per cent., in view of the need to prevent cost inflation in the distributive trade.

Mr. Bryan

My right hon. Friend has not yet received the board's levy proposals for 1971–72. He will have regard to all relevant considerations before coming to a decision on them.
