HC Deb 24 February 1981 vol 999 c321W
34. Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he has plans further to extend exemptions from training board levies.

Mr. Peter Morrison

Clause 4 of the Employment and Training Bill which received its Second Reading in the House on Monday 9 February seeks to exclude an employer from liability to pay an industrial training board levy in respect of an establishment in an enterprise zone. The Government have no other proposals which would entail extending exemption arrangements for those in scope to an industrial training board, although clause 3 of the Bill also seeks to alter the statutory provisions concerning exemption.
