§ Dr. BoysonI have recently announced the introduction, from June 1986, of a new manpower training scheme. This pilot scheme will provide enhanced support for major training projects in businesses which trade in external markets. We have set aside £2 million to fund it this year. Its aim is to improve training for new and developing skills, particularly those imposed by technological change.
