Deep Sea Fishing Fleet (Registration of Labour)

HC Deb 19 February 1971 vol 811 cc589-90W

Mr. James Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he is satisfied with the system for the registration of labour for the deep sea fishing fleet in major ports such as Hull; and whether he contemplates a training board for the industry.

Mr. Anthony Grant

These registration schemes are non-statutory and are managed by the industry itself. There is therefore no requirement for information about their operation to be supplied to the Department. Industrial training boards are the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Employment.
