HC Deb 23 January 1981 vol 997 c243W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will announce a considerable expansion in the number of places being made available at the Dundee skillcentre in view of the announcement of 340 redundancies at the Camperdown jute works in Dundee.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that the planned level of training provision at Dundee skillcentre, which has been substantially increased in the current year and is being maintained at this enhanced level in 1981–82, should be sufficient to meet any additional demand arising from the redundancies at the Camperdown jute works.
