HC Deb 08 July 1971 vol 820 c430W
47. Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many boys and girls, respectively, have enrolled as apprentice hairdressers for day release at colleges of further education for each year for the last five years; and how many of these completed their apprenticeship and became trained hairdressers.

Mrs. Thatcher

Following is a table showing the enrolments on part-time courses in hairdressing; it is not know how many represented apprentices released by their employers. My Department has no information about the completion of apprenticeships.
