HC Deb 30 January 1980 vol 977 c646W
Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list in the Official Report the closures and reductions he is proposing in careers advisory services, rehabilitation centres and skillcentres.

Mr. Jim Lester

[pursuant to his reply, 28 January 1980]: My Department has no proposals about reductions in the careers advisory service as this is the responsibility of local authorities under the terms of the Employment and Training Act 1973.

In respect of employment rehabilitation centres I refer the hon. Member to my answer of 21 January 1980 to the right hon. Member for Doncaster (Mr. Walker).

In respect of skillcentres I refer the hon. Member to my answer of 25 January 1980 to the hon. Member for Ormskirk (Mr. Kilroy-Silk).—[Vol. 977, c. 26 and 405.]
