HC Deb 17 July 1985 vol 83 c187W
34. Dr. Godman

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what recent representations he has received concerning the Inverclyde training centre, Greenock.

Mr. Allan Stewart

I met a delegation from the Inverclyde training centre support group, which the hon. Member accompanied, on 20 June. I was impressed by the case the group made for taking over responsibility for the centre from British Shipbuilders (Training, Education and Safety) Ltd. and I subsequently wrote to support the group's proposals. I was pleased to learn that the BS(TES) board has now agreed in principle to the transfer of the training centre to the group.
