§ Mr. Masonasked the Secretary of State for Employment if, in view of the number of unemployed mineworkers in the Barnsley area, many of whom are in need of training for factory employment, he will consider establishing a training centre in Barnsley, and reconsider his proposals to expand training facilities in neighbouring cities with lower unemployment rates.
§ Mr. BryanWhen planning the additional Government Training Centres announced in the document "Training for the Future", priority was given to those industrial areas inadequately served by existing centres. The Barnsley area did not fall into this category, as there are already two centres within daily travelling distance of Barnsley. The training needs of the area will, however, be kept under review.
