§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proportion of young people in the various temporary employment schemes of the Manpower Services Commission are receiving further education.
§ Mr. MacfarlaneI am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that in 1979–80 some 38 per cent. of young people who participated in the work experience elements of the youth opportunities programme received some form of off-the-job training. More than half of this was provided in colleges of further education. In addition, staff from these colleges participated in training at workplaces and at other centres.
