§ Mr. Kinnockasked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the hourly sum paid by his Department to companies which have taken advantage of the scheme to provide Ministry selected trainees with training facilities in company training schools.
§ Mr. BryanOur aim is to pay a fee which adequately covers the extra cost to the employer of providing facilities for Government-sponsored trainees. Costs vary substantially, since they are affected by such factors as the type of training given, the standard of premises, the quality of equipment, the value of training materials consumed and the extent to 429W which the employer provides the instruction. Each offer is therefore subject to individual negotiation but in practice we have found little difficulty in arriving at a fee acceptable to the employer.
