HC Deb 01 August 1972 vol 842 c60W
32. Mr. Michael Cocks

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what further provision he plans to make for women workers in the field of training within industry or in Government Training Centres.

52. Dr. John A. Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if, prior to the completion of his study of the problems, he will take steps to increase the incentives for training women, and to improve the training opportunities for women in industry.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

Courses in Government training centres are open to men and women alike, and the expansion of training through the training opportunities scheme will increase the provision for the training of women. I shall consider whether any further measures are required in the light of the study being undertaken by my Department of the problems encountered by women in securing equal treatment with men in the employment and training fields.
