HC Deb 27 January 1975 vol 885 c3W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what share of expenditure involved in running the diving school will be met, respectively, by Government, diving contractors, drilling oil companies and the trainees.

Mr. Harold Walker

I have been asked to reply.

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that the Underwater Training Centre is intended to operate on a commercial basis but detailed decisions on the level of charges have not yet been made. In the short term, however, grants may be available to employers to encourage the adoption of the new training courses.
