HC Deb 01 August 1972 vol 842 cc58-9W
26. Mr. Kinsey

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the outcome of his consideration of the proposals for further training measures for young people put forward to him by Birmingham Education Committee.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

We have agreed a scheme with the Birmingham Education Committee for up to 100 young people to receive first-year apprentice training in engineering. The cost will be shared equally between the city and the Government. The scheme, which will be administered jointly with the Engineering Industry Training Board, will be in addition to any places allocated to Birmingham by the EITB under its own scheme.
