School Leavers

21.

Mr. Bryan Davies
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she is satisfied with the level of further education and training opportunities for school leavers.

Mr. Oakes
My right hon. Friend is satisfied that local education authorities are keen to extend or improve the range of opportunities for further education for school leavers, within the limits of their resources, and to provide industrial training when requested by local employers, industrial training boards and the Manpower Services Commission and its agencies.
