HC Deb 20 November 1973 vol 864 c364W
34. Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he is satisfied with the number of persons attending Government training centres on Merseyside.

Mr. Dudley Smith

The number of people attending Government training centres on Merseyside is 709. This compares with 555 in 1970. Many additional places have also been provided on Merseyside in colleges and in approved employers' establishments under the Training Opportunities Scheme. There are now some 1,700 training places on Merseyside compared with fewer than 700 in 1970, and further expansion is planned.
