HC Deb 21 June 1985 vol 81 cc227-8W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will conduct a review of the working of the non-statutory training organisations with reference particularly to provision for training in the new technology industries and to the training provision of companies not involved in the non-statutory training organisations.

Mr. Peter Morrison

No. The Manpower Services Commission received reports from its own officials and the CBI in May this year which indicated that the arrangements for non-statutory training organisations are generally working satisfactorily and confirming that new technology training is a feature in many of their activities. The commission provides a range of grants and services designed to promote training which are available to all employers.
