HC Deb 03 November 1975 vol 899 cc21-2W
Mr. George Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what consideration has been given by his Department on the need for training centre facilities in the Wansbeck district.

Mr. Harold Walker

The Manpower Services Commission informs me that the Training Services Agency has recently carried out a review of training facilities in the North East Region, including the Wansbeck district. The agency is satisfied that the training needs of the area can be met by the existing skillcentre facilities in the region, together with the use of spare capacity in local colleges of further education and employers' establishments. There are no plans at the present time for establishing other skillcentres in the area.
