Mr Holland
asked the Secretary of State for Employment what Government training facilities exist for the disabled in Nottinghamshire; and how many training places are currently unfilled.
Mr. Harold Walker
I am advised by the Manpower Services Commission that the Training Services Agency makes use of the facilities provided by the Portland Residential Training College for the Disabled, Mansfield, to train disabled people. On 30th June, 32 places were unfilled out of a total of 134.
The agency also provides direct training facilities at Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Beeston skillcentres and arranges training at 12 colleges of further education and one private college in the area. These courses are open to both able-bodied and disabled people.
