§ Ms. Richardsonasked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps are taken to ensure that those directly recruited through the statutory agencies to youth training schemes are notified to the careers services; and if he considers that sufficient information is given by the Manpower Services Commission to the careers services through the Spectrum computer system.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonWhen a young person is recruited to the youth training scheme directly by a managing agent the Manpower Services Commission automatically notifies the careers office and jobcentre responsible for recruitment to that particular scheme.
The Manpower Services Commission and my Department are currently conducting a review of the arrangements whereby Spectrum information on young people entering the youth training scheme is sent by the commission to the local careers service.
