HC Deb 29 November 1974 vol 882 c270W
Mr. McNamara

asked 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 Walker

The 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.
