HC Deb 23 July 1979 vol 971 c46W
59. Mr. Rathbone

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what new plans he has for Government encouragement of retraining in industry.

Mr. Jim Lester

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that encouragement of adult retraining in industry is one of the aims of the Commission's "Training for Skills" programme which is administered through the industrial training boards and other national training bodies. Government funds are available where needed to meet key objectives.
