§ Mr. Barry Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales what proportion of 1985 school leavers in each Welsh county are currently (a) unemployed, (b) engaged on YTS schemes, (c) in full-time employment and (d) in part-time employment, at the latest date for which figures are available.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsInformation about 1985 unemployed school leavers and those in employment is not available because the Department of Employment statistics do not indicate the year in which a young person left school. The number participating in YTS is only available at Manpower Services Commission area office level. The latest available information as at the end of January 1986 is as follows:
Numbers Gwent 2,879 West Glamorgan and Dyfed 3,799 Mid and South Glamorgan 5,366 Gwynedd, Clwyd and Powys 3,957
