§ 39. Mr. Kenneth Carlisleasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he is satisfied with the number of trainees at present in industry; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonI share the Manpower Services Commission's concern to maintain both the quantity and quality of industrial training in the present circumstances. The commission has recently published proposals for a new training initiative and reviewed with industry bodies the intake of trainees. I am considering the commission's request to increase financial support for industry's long-term training.
