§ Mrs. BrintonTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make it his policy to provide funding support for the compulsory training of gas installation industry employees. [28462]
§ Dr. HowellsWe have no plans to provide funding support for the compulsory training of gas installation industry employees. It is up to employers and self employed people to pay for the training they need to meet their business needs and to comply with gas safety legislation. The proposed National Training Organisation will assist employers in finding accredited training.
