HC Deb 09 December 1980 vol 995 c325W
15. Sir David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps he is taking to ensure a closer liaison between the training boards and his Department on the one hand and schools on the other on the employment qualifications for young people.

Mr. Mayhew

The Manpower Services Commission (MSC), the industrial training boards and the Education Departments already work closely together on this important question, and my right hon. Friend is encouraging this. The Department of Employment and the Department of Education and Science now work more closely in this field than ever before.
