§ 30. Mr. Dempseyasked the Secretary of State for Employment what assurances he has received from industry that persons retrained as joiners at Government training centres shall be employed on completing their training; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Chichester-ClarkThe syllabus for the course for carpenters and joiners at Government training centres was prepared after full discussion with both sides of industry. The active continuing involvement of the industry, not only in course planning, but also in selection of294W suitable trainees, ensures that such trainees will be acceptable to the industry. It is not possible to give each trainee an absolute guarantee of a job, but during 1972 over 97 per cent. of carpenters and joiners were placed in their training trade.
