§ 65. Mr. Thomas Coxasked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the number of apprenticeships lost by closures of factories in the inner London area during the last 12 months which have been reported to his Department.
§ Mr. Chichester-ClarkI regret that the information is not available in the form requested. However, according to my Department's records, during the period 1st January, 1972, to 28th June, 1972, three closures of establishments employing apprentices were reported in the inner London area, in which 31 apprentices were affected.
