HC Deb 24 January 1983 vol 35 c330W
Mr. John Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps he has taken to encourage the improvement of language training in factories and of training facilities for the young unemployed in ethnic communities.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The industrial language training service provides language training in factories and other work-places for both young and adult workers from ethnic minorities. Some young unemployed people from the ethnic minorities can also attend work-related languages training courses provided mainly in colleges under the training opportunities scheme.

The new youth training scheme will make a substantial contribution to the training of young people, including those from the ethnic minorities.
