§ Mr. John Grantasked the Secretary of State for Industry how many people have attended the Government's workshop programme on microprocessors; and how many already had some knowledge of microprocessors.
§ Mr. David MitchellThe latest available figures show that with more than a half of the workshop programme still to be completed, 847 delegates have attended. Of these some 44 per cent. recorded that they would be using microelectronics and a further 47 intended to give the possibility consideration.
§ Mr. John Grantasked the Secretary of State for Industry what are the Government's plans in respect of microprocessors following the end of the current workshops programme.
§ Mr. David MitchellThe workshop programme is part of the overall microelectronic awareness programme already approved, some elements of which will come into full effect later this year. The Government are reviewing the situation beyond that.
