§ Mr. Tilleyasked the Scretary of State for Employment (1) how many youth training scheme approved places were available for 16 year-old Easter school leavers in Lambeth; and how many 16-year-olds left school in Lambeth at Easter;
(2) how many youth training scheme places have been (a) proposed and (b) approved, under the various private and voluntary modes in the London borough of Lambeth; and how many places will be available in September for the summer school leavers.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonAn estimated 200 16-year-olds left school on Lambeth at Easter, although not all of these will necessarily seek youth training scheme places. To date 251 places under the scheme have been approved in Lambeth out of a tatal of 1,457 proposed by potential sponsors. It is expected that a further 1,000 or so places will be approved between now and September.
