§ Mr. Peter MorrisonThe Manpower Services Commission aims to provide over 400,000 places under the youth training scheme in 1983–84 to cater for some 460,000 young people. It is not possible at this stage to estimate how these places will be distributed among industries. Some places under mode B will be not with employers but, for example, in workshops or on community projects.
§ Mr. Nicholas Wintertonasked the Secretary of State for Employment what proportion of places in the youth training scheme it is estimated will be provided by industry; and what proportion by educational establishments.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonIn 1983–84 the youth training scheme is expected to provide places for 295,000 youngsters on schemes that are primarily employer based and 165,000 youngsters on schemes co-ordinated by the Manpower Services Commission. It is not possible at this stage to say how many places will be on schemes in which educational establishments have a management role. Each youngster taking part in the scheme will, however, have a minimum of 13 weeks off-the-job training or further education, which will often be provided by colleges of further education.
