§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Wales what figures he has to show the number of disabled young people refusing the offer of a place in YTS in each of the last three years.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsComprehensive information on YTS refusals is not readily available centrally. Individual careers services have information but it is not on a consistent or consistently accessible basis.
§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many disabled young people presently take part in YTS in Wales.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsThis information is currently not available. The Manpower Services Commission's com-puterised management information system, from which YTS statistics are obtained, is currently being reprogrammed and improved to meet the needs of two-year YTS. As a result of this work information about the participation of young disabled people on YTS will not be available until the end of this summer.
I shall write to the hon. Gentleman with this information as soon as it becomes available.
