HC Deb 12 December 1988 vol 143 c471W
Mr. Harry Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many school leavers there were in Derbyshire in the summer of 1988: and how many people have not yet been employed or placed on a YTS scheme.

Mr. Cope

Information on the number of school leavers in the summer of 1988 for each local education authority is not yet available nor is information available on how many have not yet been employed or placed on a YTS scheme. However, at 31 October (the latest available date) there were 2,620 unfilled YTS places in Derbyshire. I am satisfied that the Training Agency has made sufficient places available to satisfy potential demand.
