In Parliament

Abstract

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour, Mr Richard Marsh, made a statement in the Commons about the industries next to be covered by Industrial Training Boards. He said that the Minister intended in the near future to establish Boards for the electricity, gas and water supply industries. After considering the advice of the Central Training Council he proposed within the next few months to establish a Board for the construction materials, pottery and glass industries, and also Boards for timber and furniture manufacturing, for further sections of the textile industry and for road transport and the motor vehicle repair trade. He intended to open discussions later this year with the hotel and catering industry and with the distributive trades.
