§ Mr. Brocklebank-Fowlerasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether, in his review of the future policy in industrial training and the phasing out of the levy/grant system, he will consider providing funds from central sources for two-year off-the-job sandwich courses in craft skills for 16– to 18–year-olds.
§ Mr. Chichester-ClarkMy right hon. Friend is aware of the importance of initial off-the-job training of apprentices and technicians, but a decision on financial support for this training must await decisions on the main proposals in "Training for the Future".
