§ Mrs. Angela KnightThe information requested falls within the responsibility of the chief executive of the Office for National Statistics. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from Dr. M. P. G. Pepper to Mr. Hugh Bayley, dated 12 February 1997:
195WThe Chancellor of the Exchequer has asked the Director of the Office for National Statistics to reply to your recent Question on the proportion of people aged under 25 in employment, education and training in Yorkshire and Humberside and in England. The Director has asked me to reply in his absence.In answering your Question, I have incorporated two improvements when compared with the Answer on 24 July 1996 in the Official Report column 547, and for this reason I am providing comparable data for 1991 through to 1996.First: the information on numbers in employment, education and training relate to persons aged 16–24 and are expressed as a proportion of the corresponding age group rather than all persons aged under 25.Secondly: the number in employment include some persons who are in full-time education. Separate details are given for those in full-time education with and without jobs.The Answer in the attached tables is derived from the Labour Force Survey. However, participation in Government supported training schemes is known to be under-recorded in the Labour Force Survey compared with administrative sources. The employee figures in the tables therefore include a number who should otherwise be shown as on such schemes.
