§ Mr. Sheermanasked the Paymaster General if he will give from the most recent survey of youth training scheme providers, the number and proportion of trainees who will spend (a) fewer than 13 weeks and (b) more than 13 weeks on off-the-job training; and hw these figures with those available at the end of 1985.
§ Mr. TrippierThe survey of YTS providers conducted in January-February 1986 shows that 2 per cent. (5,300) of trainees received off-the-job training of less than 13 weeks; 98 per cent. (259,000) received off-the-job training for 13 weeks or longer.
328WFigures for 1985 are not available.
§ Mr. Sheermanasked the Paymaster General what are the current numbers of vacant places on the youth training schemes; and how this figure compares with that for the end of 1985.
§ Mr. TrippierManpower Services Commission records currently show some 327,900 YTS trainees in training at the end of February 1987 and 455,500 YTS contracted places. There are no exactly equivalent figures for earlier years. In December 1985 there were some 293,370 trainees in training and 384,700 places approved by area manpower boards; but not all approved places were subsequently contracted.
§ Mr. Sheermanasked the Paymaster General if he will give for 1983–84, 1984–85, 1985–86, and the latest estimates on figures for 1986–87. the total sum expended on the youth training scheme and the total sum expended on grants made to managing agents broken down into the administration fee, the training allowance the trainee allowance and capital grants.
