HC Deb 14 June 1972 vol 838 cc350-1W
Mr. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give interim assurances regarding group training schemes in order that boards may prepare forward development plans and budgets.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

I would refer the hon. Member to the debate on industrial training on 5th June in which I said that we must ensure that a new training scheme is capable of encouraging group training schemes. Any more detailed guidance to training boards must await decisions on the main proposals in "Training for the Future".
