HC Deb 24 January 1983 vol 35 c333W
Mr. Les Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether the statement by Mr. David Young of the Manpower Services Commission, that places on the youth training and other schemes operated by Manpower Services Commission are to be regarded as a permanent feature of the British way of life, represents the policy of his Department.

Mr. Tebbit

The Government's policy towards the training of young people is contained in the second objective of the new training initiative—Cmnd. 8455, para. 1. The Government believe there will be a continuing need for arrangements on the lines of the youth training scheme to facilitate the transition from school to work and to provide a proper foundation training for young people.
