§ Mr. Paice[holding answer 23 January 1997]: The information requested is given in the following table. As the information comes from surveys, it is only possible to give percentages and not actual number. The training for work national follow-up survey covers all qualifications not just NVQs. The table shows the highest NVQ or equivalent qualification gained.
