YTS (Hansard, 1 December 1988)

§ Mr. Hardy
To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is the number of young people, both nationally and in south Yorkshire, who are currently unemployed and who currently have not found or been offered a place on YTS.

§ Mr. Cope
This information is not available. Only the local careers service will know the number of young people seeking a YTS place at any one time.

§ Mr. McCrindle
To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many 16 to 18-year-olds have been offered a YTS placement; how many remain to be contacted; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Cope
From 1 April to 31 October, the latest available date, it is estimated that 266,700 young people have joined YTS. No information is available on the numbers who have declined a placement. At the end of October more than 435,000 young people were in training on YTS providing them with a sound foundation training for their future working lives.

§ Mr. McCrindle
To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will estimate the number of 16 to 18-year-olds who have accepted offers on a YTS placement; how many have declined a placement; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Cope
This information is not available. Only the local authority careers services will have any indication of the numbers involved. However, I am satisfied that the Training Agency has made available more than sufficient places to meet the potential uptake.
