§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many trainees graduated from the drilling technology centre; and how many failed in 1977.
§ Mr. Gregor MacKenzieIt is not possible to provide the hon. Member with an answer in precisely the form requested as not all of the courses involve any form of assessment. However, in the training year from 1st September 1977 to 31st August 1978 1,068 trainees attended 81 drilling courses and the Petroleum Industry320W Training Board estimates that 84 per cent. completed the courses satisfactory.
