INDUSTRIAL training boards are abolished, someone will need to ecreate them or something very similar in the near future, accordto Road Transport Industry Training Board director general Eric Addressing the Road Haulage ,ssociation in Cambridge, Mr indall defended the intervenonist approach to training rhich is enshrined in the ITB istem, though he did admit to lis being a somewhat reluctant Jpport on his part.

While he would like to believe at the expertise of the per)nnei management profession ould have carried such weight British industry as to maintain great training momentum, Mr ndall said that even in the heyay of purely voluntary training, ily one company in ten unulook any training.

"I met no company in the iited Kingdom at that time hich did all that was neces sary," he said. As a result of the 1964 Industrial Training Act, there now is a rate of one company in five practising training, and one in 20 doing it comprehensively.

"The Government has taken a poll of industry to ask what they feel about intervention. There has to be an in-built majority against it," he added.

Mr Tindall said he hoped that training would, one day, be undertaken because everyone will instantly recognise the need to do it, but this has yet to happen, and a structure will have to be created which should also be capable of forecasting future training needs.
