HC Deb 25 February 1987 vol 111 cc310-1W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Paymaster General if he will publish by local area the rates for YTS youngsters getting jobs and the rates for ITeC, YTS, youngsters getting jobs; and whether the Government now intend to reduce the ITeC, YTS, places.

Mr. Trippier

The results of the Manpower Services Commission's regular surveys of young people leaving YTS (including those who leave from ITeC schemes) are placed in the Library of the House each month. I refer the hon. Member to these documents. The Commission is planning to contract for approximately 6,800 first-year and single-year places in ITeCs in 1987–88 (the same number as in 1986–87) and to provide sufficient places for all 1986–87 eligible entrants to complete their second year's training in 1987–88.
