§ Mr. Scottasked the Secretary of State for Employment when he expects to issue proposals for a new training initiative.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonA consultative document on the primary objectives for future training policy and action needed to achieve them is being published by the Manpower Services Commission today. Copies are being placed in the Vote Office and the Library. My right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Education and Science, Scotland and Wales and I, on behalf of colleagues, welcome this document and will be considering with the commission what can be done within the available resources to advance the objectives. We hope that all those concerned with the future of training will respond both to the request for comments by September and to the call for immediate action where it is needed.
