I was just about to come to that point. Treforest has six classes, all duplicated in neighbouring centres. There are motor vehicle body repair classes at Newport and Port Talbot; motor vehicle repair and maintenance classes at those two centres and West Gwent; electric are welding classes at all four of the neighbouring centres; a radio and television servicing class at Cardiff; and coded welding classes at Newport and Port Talbot. One coded welding class will move to Wrexham skillcentre, where it can help those made redundant from Shotton. Closing the radio and television class should mean that an important class in industrial electronics can open at Cardiff, using the same instructor.

There are good prospects for redeploying the staff concerned, some to fill important vacancies. Between now and February 1981, when the annexe is due to shut, trainees will be gradually diverted elsewhere. None will be unable to finish the course.

The advantages of rationalising the skillcentre network, and the case for closing Treforest as part of the exercise, seem to me to be irrefutable. I understand that the district manpower committee for Mid-Glamorgan and the MSC's Welsh committee have accepted the case for closure, whilst regretting the loss of a local facility. I hope that the hon. Gentleman can do likewise. I am sure that he can look to the Manpower Services Commission, in concert with those concerned locally, to do all that can be done within the resources available to it to ensure that training needs of both individuals and employers in the area are properly catered for.
