HC Deb 07 February 1984 vol 53 c543W
Mr. Wareing

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if, in view of the Government's encouragement of offshore operators to require standards in survival techniques from their employees, he will consider making funds available so that the costs of courses leading to survival certificates may be provided to the unemployed.

Mr. Peter Morrison

No. In the Government's view it is for the offshore industry itself to meet the costs of safety training, including survival training.
