HC Deb 22 October 1979 vol 972 cc25-6W
Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the total amount received by the Hotel and Catering Industry Training Board from all sources during each of the two last financial years of that Board and the sums of money paid out in grants to employers in each of those years.

Mr. Jim Lester

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that the position is as follows:

a view to seeing whether its underlying principles can be achieved in a form less burdensome to industry.

Mr. Mayhew

I am confident that the Health and Safety Commission, on which three representatives of the CBI and three of the TUC sit, is aware of the need to have fully in mind the implications for industry when developing its policies. It has developed a very extensive system of public consultation about its proposals and has consistently demonstrated its willingness to take very careful account of the views expressed by industry.
