HC Deb 21 July 1981 vol 9 c97W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many school leavers in Dundee in both 1980 and 1981 have yet to be offered a place on the youth opportunities programme; and what percentage of school leavers they represent.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

On 10 April 1980, 10 young people in Dundee who had left school in the 1978–79 academic year had yet to receive an offer of a place on the youth opportunities programme. This represented less than 1 per cent. of the total number of school leavers who entered the programme in Dundee in the financial year 1979–80. On 9 April 1981 no young people in Dundee who had left school in the 1979–80 academic year had yet to receive an offer of a place on the programme.
