HC Deb 10 June 1986 vol 99 cc143-4W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Paymaster General what is the percentage of YTS trainees who obtain full-time employment (a) nationally and (b) in the Rugby travel-to-work area.

Mr. Trippier

The Manpower Services Commission conducts a monthly follow-up survey of all young people leaving YTS. The latest results, covering young people who left YTS between 1 April and 31 December, show that 53 per cent. were in full-time work some three months after completing their training. A further 4 per cent. were in part-time work.

The comparable figures for the Rugby and Daventry local authority districts combined are 58 per cent. and 4 per cent., respectively.
