Mr. Straw
asked the Secretary of State for Employment what plans he has for the Blackburn skillcentre.
Mr. Jim Lester
[pursuant to his reply, 4 February 1980]: I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that construction of a new skillcentre in Accrington to replace the existing Blackburn skillcentre began in September 1979. It should be ready by early summer 1981. Training capacity will be increased 50 per cent.
