§ 40. Mr. Cledwyn Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Employment what training and retraining facilities are provided in the Gwynedd area; and if he will authorise the establishment of a skill centre there, appropriate to the size of the population and the current level of unemployment.
§ Mr. John GrantI am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that 178 training places are currently available in Gwynedd for persons sponsored by the Training Services Agency under the Training Opportunities Scheme. The agency has no plans at present for a skill-centre to be established in Gwynedd, but 97W negotiations are continuing with local organisations to determine how best additional facilities can be provided.
