Mr. MorrisonIn-plant training is provided by the Manpower Services Commission under its direct training services. Since 1979—the earliest date for which figures are available for individual travel-to-work areas—there have been four applications in the Mexborough travel-to-work area for in-plant training under the training within industry scheme and one application under the mobile instructor scheme. At current price levels the total cost of this training would have been £2,725. Thirty-nine people received training under these schemes.
