§ Mr. Buchanasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will now use facilities available in Government training establishments in order to provide special vocational training for unemployed school leavers in Scotland.
§ Mr. Chichester-ClarkMost initial training of young people will continue to be the responsibility of employers. But a number of industrial training boards, in conjunction with my Department, have offered skilled training to school leavers who have been unable to obtain apprenticeships, and broad-based courses of limited skill in employers' establishments and colleges of further education are also available to young unemployed people who have no reasonable expectation of employment. Facilities in Government training centres are required mainly for adult trainees.
