HC Deb 09 May 1983 vol 42 c208W
Mr. Peter Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what percentage of those young people taking up training places in the youth training programme in Northern Ireland in 1981–82 and 1982–83 were placed in permanent jobs within the 12-month period.

Mr. Adam Butler

Information is only available in regard to Department of Economic Development schemes under the youth training programme. Since the programme commenced in September 1982, 25 per cent. of participants have left training; 17 per cent. (of original participants) entered employment and 8 per cent. returned to the unemployed register.
