HC Deb 02 December 1981 vol 14 c144W
Mr. Philip Holland

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, in accordance with procedures laid down in the Civil Service Department's guide on non-departmental public bodies, he has recently carried out a review to determine whether there is a continuing need for the Agricultural Training Board and to assess its effectiveness; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

Agriculture Ministers have it in mind to undertake a review of the Agricultural Training Board in the light of the sectoral review of industrial training boards generally. We shall shortly be considering the possible form of such a review.
