HC Deb 28 April 1981 vol 3 c382W
24. Mr. Forman

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, if he will take steps to see that more urgent progress is made in the current review of training and retraining.

Mr. Peter Morrison

My right hon. Friend asked the Manpower Services Commission in November to conduct its review of future arrangements for industrial training urgently and to report its conclusions in June. I expect the commission to be able to keep to this timetable. I do not intend to ask the commission to report earlier.

29. Mr. Hal Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Employment when he plans to meet the director general of the Engineering Employers' Federation to discuss industrial training.

Mr. Peter Morrison

My right hon. Friend has no plans to meet the director general at present.
