§ Mr. Harry BarnesTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many young people in Derbyshire are currently employed, unemployed and on YTS schemes.
§ Mr. CopeThe number of young people in training on YTS in Derbyshire on 2 December 1988, the latest available date, was 8,280. Comparable information at that date for the number of young people in full-time employment is not available.
With the guarantee of the offer of a YTS place to all 16 and 17-year-olds who apply for one and who are not in full-time education or employment, there are now hardly any under 18-year-olds recorded as unemployed.
