§ Mr. Sheermanasked the Paymaster General how many youth trainees are currently engaged in YTS that involve off-the-job training in further education colleges in (a) England and Wales, (b) Scotland and (c) Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. TrippierThis information is not available in precisely the form requested. The most recent information is from a survey of YTS schemes in January—February 1986. This survey showed that schemes responsible for 42 per cent. of all trainees in Great Britain used colleges of further education to provide the main part of their off-the-job training. This includes cases where colleges of further education managing schemes provided their own off-the-job training in-house.
