HC Deb 30 November 1983 vol 49 cc523-4W
Ms. Clare Short

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list in the Official Report the companies which are providing youth training scheme places through the large companies unit; and what are the number of trainees involved in each case.

Mr. Peter Morrison

[pursuant to his reply, 25 November 1983, c. 339]: So far the large companies unit has negotiated the establishment of over 85,000 training places under 149 contracts with companies and other organisations. Information about individual managing agents' schemes is treated in confidence by the Manpower Services Commission. However, the commission is considering compiling a national directory of managing agents, to be made publicly available with the agreement of the organisations concerned.
