§ Mr. Baldryasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether local results are available from the Manpower Services Commission's survey of leavers from the youth training scheme.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonThe Manpower Services Commission conducts a regular survey of young people who have left the youth training scheme. Questionnaires are sent to a 15 per cent, sample of leavers in each month some three months after they leave the scheme.
The survey provides national results each month and regional results each quarter. Local results relate to the areas covered by each of the commission's training division's 55 area offices. This is the smallest geographical area for which the survey can provide results.
The first area results cover leavers between July-September 1984. I have arranged for them to be placed in the library. The next set of area results will cover the period October 1984 to March 1985. This is because a 15 per cent, sample of leavers for the next three-month period (October — December 1984) is not large enough to provide reliable area results.
