HC Deb 07 November 1972 vol 845 c107W
Mr. Strang

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will take steps to encourage the Engineering Industry Training Board to take on school-leavers who are unable to find an employer.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

My Department is already sharing with the Engineering Industry Training Board the cost of up to 2,500 awards to provide a year's training for school leavers this summer who would otherwise have lost the opportunity of entering apprenticeship.
