HC Deb 02 April 1984 vol 57 c396W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many handicapped teenagers in west Yorkshire are participating in youth training programmes; what percentage of the disabled population eligible for youth training programmes by virtue of age this represents; and what percentage of the total number of teenagers in west Yorkshire this figure represents.

Mr. Peter Morrison

To date, 118 disabled youngsters have been recorded as entering the youth training scheme in west Yorkshire. No information is available on the overall number of disabled youngsters who might be eligible for the scheme in that area.
