HC Deb 26 November 1985 vol 87 c536W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Paymaster General what are the most recent figures for the number of adult workers who receive training in the United Kingdom; and what information he has on comparable figures for West Germany.

Mr. Trippier

Information from the labour force survey carried out in the spring of 1984 indicates that about 2 million adults in employment had received some training during the four weeks before the survey interview. I regret that a comparable figure for West Germany is not available.
