HC Deb 16 June 1980 vol 986 c423W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, in view of the haphazard and uncertain fashion in which grants paid to youngsters wanting to train for a skill are at present funded partly by taxes, partly by rates and partly by the industry through a levy, if he will take steps to alter the present system.

Mr. Jim Lester

I shall reply to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
