asked the Secretary of State for Employment when he expects the report on the operation of the Employment and Training Act 1973 to be presented to the Manpower Services Commission ; and whether it will be made available to the public.

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that it hopes to consider the report of the review body on the Employment and Training Act at its meeting on 22 July 1980. I will ask the Commission to give consideration to the publication of the report.
