§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Paymaster General what, for each region of Great Britain, are the estimates produced by the careers service for the Manpower Services Commission of the number and proportion of (1) 16-year-olds and (2) 17-year-olds who will (a) stay on in school or further education or (b) leave school and join the labour market, and, the number of those who will (i) get work, (ii) remain unemployed and (iii) enter the youth training schemes, for the last year available; and what were the figures for all categories for all years for which figures are available, assuming the youth opportunities programme precedes the youth training scheme.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe information for the youth training scheme is as follows. The figures represent the careers service's best estimates of the destinations of 16 and 17-year-olds who were eligible to leave school in the academic years 1982–83, 1983–84 and 1984–85. The figures for 31 December 1985 are projections made by the careers service in autumn 1984 and revised in January 1985. There are no equivalent figures for the youth opportunities programme.
