§ 39. Mr. Douglasasked the Secretary of State for Employment what estimates he has made of the number of apprenticeship 146W places currently available in the engineering industry in Scotland and the forecasts for July, 1972.
§ Mr. BryanI am informed by the Engineering Industrial Training Board that in mid-February 2,918 places for first-year craft and technician training were currently approved in Scotland, of which 2,388 were occupied. It is, however, too early to judge the number of places which will be taken up in July.
