HC Deb 28 March 1985 vol 76 c287W
Mr. Nicholas Baker

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish the numbers of young British workers obtaining places on the European Community young workers exchange programme; and if he is satisfied at the number of British workers by comparison with their European counterparts obtaining places on this programme.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

During the years 1979–1983 young people from the United Kingdom obtained 779 of 3,977 places allocated under the second programme of exchanges. I am satisfied that the UK is getting a fair share of the places allocated on this schemes.
