§ Mr. Michael Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many free senior executive courses, similar to that held at the Holiday Inn, Leicester, from 3rd May 1976 to 28th May 1976 designed for executives earning in excess of £7,000 per annum, have been organised by the Training Services Agency in each of the last three years.
§ Mr. GoldingI am advised by the Manpower Services Commission that the first two experimental courses of this type were held in 1976 and a further course is planned for later this year.
§ Mr. Michael Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the names of the 22 students and the companies which they represented who attended the free senior executive training course held at the Holiday Inn, Leicester, from 3rd May 1976 to 28th May 1976 designed for executive earning in excess of £7,000 per annum organised by the Training Services Agency.
§ Mr. GoldingI am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that the course referred to was organised under the Training Opportunities Scheme and was open only to applicants who were unemployed or facing redundancy. Therefore, none of the students represented companies.
It is not the usual practice of Governments to disclose the names of people who have received assistance under publicly-funded schemes, since such information is considered to be confidential.
