HC Deb 21 April 1980 vol 983 c3W
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will consider linking the abolition of earnings-related supplement to the introduction of German-style training allowances.

Mr. Jim Lester

[pursuant to his reply, 18 April 1980, c. 733]I understand from the Manpower Services Commission that it is undertaking a fundamental review of training allowances. In the course of the review it will be looking at practices in certain other countries.
