HC Deb 29 April 1971 vol 816 cc169-70W
42. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether, following his decision to initiate action to wind up the Hairdressing and Allied Services Industrial Training Board, he will consult interested parties with a view to preserving Government assistance for training within this sphere.

Mr. Bryan

I do not anticipate that the winding-up of this board will have any significant effect on the scale of Government assistance to the industry. My Department is ready to give any help it can to any initiative that the two sides of industry may choose to make to improve training standards.
