§ Mr. McNamaraasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many people were retrained in Hull in the years from 1964 to the nearest convenient date.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerThe Manpower Services Commission has advised me that information about people who completed courses under the Vocational Training Scheme and the Training Opportunities Scheme in Hull is available only for the Hull Skillcentre, formerly Government Training Centre. The following are the figures:
Hull Skillcentre Year Numbers who completed training 1964 63 1965 137 1966 158 1967 185 1968 166 1969 168 1970 168 1971 171 1972 201 1973 256 9 months ending 30th September 1974 220 Trainees sponsored by their employer are excluded.
In addition a comparable number of trainees have completed courses in colleges in Hull over the past three years. To obtain precise figures would involve a disproportionate cost.
