HC Deb 13 November 1984 vol 67 c187W
Mr. Baldry

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if Her Majesty's Government will seek to establish a vital skills agency.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The Government welcome proposals for the better co-ordination of the efforts of existing bodies in this field, but believe that action should be initiated by industry itself. Further consideration is being given to the proposal to establish a vital skills agency in the context of the current review of future manpower needs in the information technology field.
