GRANT: Of course I know that! But what kind of grant is it going to be? Do you
really imagine it would be enough to cover such a scheme as yours?
IAN: Not completely, no. But it would go a long way towards paying for it, The
Board make outright cash grants for new training facilities of this kind.
GRANT: I know damned well it wouldn't be enough! Well now, look, I'm rather busy
now. If that's all...
IAN: With due respect, H.G,, it isn't all. I don't think you have given this very serious
matter enough of your attention.
GRANT: Oh, indeed?
IAN: I consider this to be a matter absolutely vital to the future of the firm.
The purpose of the Government in setting up this scheme, and extorting the cash from
industry to run it, was to give us the incentive to get most of it back by good up-to-
date training. In my view they were completely right, and any firm that doesn't take
advantage of it is guilty of restrictive practices.
GRANT: These are very strong words, Ian.
IAN: I mean what I say. And I've done quite a detailed costing- I think we've a
chance of getting a good three-quarters of the money we'd need from the Board. The
remaining twenty-five per cent would be more than made up by the savings effected
by not having apprentices on the shop floor.
GRANT: I see. Well, Ian, I must say you have put your case with.., er... vigour.
Well, I suppose I must give your proposal a little more thought.
Yes... er... leave me your cost breakdown. I don't promise anything, but I'll look into
it.
IAN: Thank you, H.G. I hoped you would.
(Later on, lan sees Peter.)
IAN: Oh, Peter, did you get those wall charts you wanted?
PETER: Yes,I did, thanks- Now we've got the great job of redoing all the
production charts and the work flow diagram. Marvellous fun! By the way, here you
are. Five lovely pounds, dear boy. I'm forced to hand them over.
IAN: Why. what's this?
PETER: H.G. had me in this morning and told me a lot of stuff about how all
modern firms were determined to improve the quality and quantity of their training.
How did you do it?
