§ Mr. Alec Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of participants in youth opportunities programme schemes goes straight into employment after completing the scheme.
§ Mr. Peter Morrison[pursuant to his reply, 13 July 1981]: The most recent survey, which covered a sample of young people who entered work experience schemes under the youth opportunities programme in March 1980, showed that 36 per cent. went into employment immediately after leaving their schemes. A further 13 per cent. went into further education or training.
