HC Deb 06 December 1983 vol 50 c121W
32. Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he has considered the memorandum by the chairman of the Manpower Services Commission to the National Economic Development Council on training skills and tomorrow's needs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Morrison

My right hon. Friend discussed this memorandum with other members of the National Economic Development Council on 2 November. Since then the commission has published proposals for a new strategy on adult training within which all those involved might contribute to achieving the objectives set out in this memorandum. My right hon. Friend is currently giving detailed consideration to these proposals.
