Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Skills for Growth.
Skills for Growth
Crompton Technology in Banbury is a high-tech, low carbon and value-added business. It needs to recruit more than 200 modern technicians just to fulfil its existing business plan. It recently advertised for just 10 people. Notwithstanding receiving 130 responses, it could not fill any of the places because the applicants did not have the right level of skills. Will the Minister spare me just 10 minutes sometime in the near future to discuss how we can fast-track technician training at the local technical college, so that as many as possible of those 200 jobs can go to local unemployed people, rather than going overseas?
