FINAL REPORT OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Detailed Examination Now Almost Completed

Detailed examination of the Final Report of the Industrial

Training Advisory Committee is now almost completed, and it is hoped

that firm recommendations for the setting up of a permanent Industrial

Training Council can be submitted to the Governor in Council soon.

The Commissioner of Labour, the Hon. Paul Tsui, stated this

today in the Legislative Council in reply to Dr. the Hon. S.Y. Chung.

Dr. Chung had naked: "Is Government in a position to state

its view on the establishment of a Hong Kong Industrial Training Council

as proposed by the Industrial Training Advisory Committee in its final

report submitted two years ago, and, if not, when is Government likely

to come to a decision on this important matter?"

Mr. Tsui told the Council that Government was at one with the

Advisory Committee in that it fully realised the importance of the matter.

He said that "a reorganized industrial training complex along

the lines as indicated in the ITAC Final Report should go a long way to

solve the many problems which confront us in the field of industrial

training, provided that we are careful to ensure we establish the right

machinery to achieve the results we all desire."

"Because of this need for care, we have been examining all

aspects of the matter in detail," he added.
