HC Deb 02 March 1978 vol 945 cc322-3W
Mr. Cant

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps her Department is taking to set up a national scheme for training and qualifications, as recommended by the National Economic Development Office industrial strategy report on the micro-electronics industry, to overcome the shortage of computer specialists.

Mr. Oakes

The report by the Electronics Computers Sector Working Party has only just been published. My Department will be discussing its recommendations with NEDO and with the other agencies concerned.
