Notes and news

Abstract

Mr Norman Longley, Chairman of the CITB, helped by his two senior assistants, Mr E. F. L. Brech, Chief Executive, and Mr H. B. Verity, Secretary, held a press conference recently for the purpose of presenting a summary of progress, to announce the rate of levy for 1966/67 and to give advance information of the Board's proposals to the Minister for the new grants scheme to take effect as from 1st August 1966. But equally important, said Mr Longley, its purpose was also to enlist the aid of the trade press in putting over to the industry the whole aim and intention behind the Board's work. If the story going the rounds is true, that one of the Board's advisory inspectors, finding the director of the — not so small — firm on whom he had called not available, was asked to leave a sample and call back the following week, there seems to be plenty of room for training at management level.
