HC Deb 14 February 1983 vol 37 cc43-4W
Mr. John Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the estimated numbers of youth training scheme places that will be required in the London borough of Islington in September for 16-year-olds; and how many places have so far been promised by employers to meet that situation.

Mr. Peter Morrison

It is estimated that about 725 16-year-old school leavers from the borough of Islington will participate in the scheme in 1983–84. The scheme will also be open to unemployed 17-year-old school leavers and disabled 18-year-old school leavers. Proposals for 450 places are already under discussion, of which 200 will be with employers.
