§ Mr. Lee
The information is shown in the table.

Number of young people on youth training scheme at 30 June 1987²

Local authority district¹ Number

Burnley 389

Pendle 688

Hyndburn 834

Rossendale and Darwen³ 1,264

¹ As the Manpower Services Commission's computerised management information system does not collect information by constituency, figures have been given for local authority districts.

² This is the latest date for which figures are available.

³ Statistics for Darwen are not readily available. The figure given represents Rossendale local authority district and Blackburn local authority district, which includes Darwen.

§ Mr. Frank Field

For the purposes of this table, leavers who gained more than one type of qualification were counted once only, according to the highest category of qualification gained during their YTS training. The percentage in all but the first column may therefore understate the proportion of leavers who gained a qualification in that category.
