§ Mr. Eggar[holding answer 18 May 1990]: I have received no representations on the particular case referred to by the hon. Member, nor from the careers service about the guarantee.
Training Agency area offices are currently negotiating funding levels with training providers in respect of the youth training programme which commences on 29 May 1990. Under youth training, the Government's guarantee remains unaffected. All young people under the age of 18 who have left full-time education and who are unable to find a job, are guaranteed the offer of a training place on the programme.
