HC Deb 20 January 1987 vol 108 c523W
Sir Hector Monro

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state, at the latest convenient date, the number of young people in Scotland registered at careers offices as unemployed and seeking a position on a YTS scheme who have not obtained one.

Mr. Rifkind

Information is not available in the precise form requested. However, on 5 January 1987, of those young people in Scotland who had been unemployed since leaving school during the academic year 1985–86 and who were actively seeking a place on two-year YTS, only 366 were still awaiting an offer.
