Mr. Wm. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will now list in the Official Report the religious affiliation of the students in each course at the Government training centres in the Londonderry area, in the light of the complaint expressed to the hon. Member for Londonderry that approximately 90 per cent. of such students are Roman Catholics, thus revealing discrimination against Protestants.
§ Mr. ConcannonThe Department of Manpower Services does not have information on the religious affiliation of trainees and apprentices in any of the Government training centres. Applicants for courses are, however, chosen entirely in the light of their suitability for the training involved.
