HC Deb 10 March 1983 vol 38 cc498-9W
Mr. Lyell

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether employers are continuing to employ young people after their period of support under the young workers scheme has ended.

Mr. Tebbit

The scheme has been in operation for only just over a year. However, the evidence available so far suggests that the great majority of young people are continuing with the same employer even after the subsidy has been exhausted.
