HC Deb 11 November 1971 vol 825 c194W
20. Mr.

Scott asked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps he is taking to shorten the waiting list of those wishing to take Government training centre courses.

Mr. Bryan

My right hon. Friend has already taken effective steps to make greater use of the existing capacity of Government training centres. He is also expanding the number of places as rapidly as possible, concentrating on those areas and trades where facilities are insufficient.

57. Mr. Scott

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many Government training centres now offer training courses at semi-skilled levels; and whether he intends to increase such facilities.

Mr. Bryan

Six at present. Courses have already been authorised at a further nine centres and others are planned.
