HC Deb 22 May 1985 vol 79 cc442-3W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in the Official Report statistics on the occupational destinations of school leavers in each local education authority in Yorkshire and Humberside by numbers and as proportions for the most recently available year, setting out the results for boys and girls separately.

Mr. Dunn

The information requested is not available. Some information at regional level will be available as a result of a series of studies of young people aged 16 to 19 commissioned jointly by the Department of Education and Science, the Manpower Services Commission and the Department of Employment in England and Wales. Preliminary results, covering the experiences of young people who reached the minimum school leaving age in 1983–84, are expected to become available towards the end of this year.
