HC Deb 19 October 1976 vol 917 c410W
24. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what industrial skills are in short supply in South Yorkshire, particularly the Sheffield area.

Mr. Golding

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that there are currently shortages of a general nature in the engineering machining and toolmaking trades and in other skilled occupations such as pipe fitters, welders, platers, maintenance fitters and electricians.
