HC Deb 04 May 1982 vol 23 cc8-9W
Mr. Wolfson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he is satisfied with the operation of the training for skills programme.

Mr. Peter Morrison

I am satisfied that the training for skills programme has made an important contribution to helping industry meet its own needs for skilled manpower. We have, however, made clear in our recent White Paper—Cmnd. 8455—that continued financial support for industry's skill training will be increasingly conditional upon steps towards implementing reform of the present training arrangements.
