Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

-IE MOTOR AGENTS Associaon has hit out against the Manmar Services Commission's location of E5m to encourage le employment of additional ainees (CM August 29).

One of the MAA's main grievices is the plan to take on 2,500 iditional apprentices at a time hen some 700 apprentices ave already been laid off in the dustry.

Alan Dix of the MAA said last eek: "The Board's proposals in is respect must be classed as 3signed to placate the educeanal lobby, rather than meet le real needs of the industry." Half of the Om will be taken am Government funds, but the IAA has to provide £1 .25m out its own levy money. Mr Dix ainted out that no attempt was lade to inform the MAA, and rid that he will advise his memars to turn these proposals awn.

Road Transport Industry raining Board, chairman Fred oyd has replied, saying: "Rearding redundant apprentices, le Board tries wherever pasble to find them jobs with other -nployers, and pays a substanal grant. Often apprentices canat be found other posts in their 'ea because of the recession." Mr Lloyd went to refute the IAA's claims that it was not ansulted and said that the TITB's sub-committee dealing :ith the retail sector of the inustry is, in fact, chaired by one I the MAA board members and as three directly nominated IAA representatives. The senior ammittee to which it reports is laired by an MAA Board merner.
