§ Mr. Proctorasked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the profit to the Road Transport Industry Training Board from the sale of training materials in the last financial year.
§ Mr. Peter Morrison[pursuant to his reply, 18 May 1981, c. 10]: The Road Transport Industry Training Board's total receipts from the sale of training material in the 1980–81 financial year were £148,000.
Training materials are produced by training boards to meet the training needs of industry and not for profit. I understand that the Road Transport Industry Training Board calculates prices to cover the cost of materials and a substantial profit is not expected.
