HC Deb 29 February 1988 vol 128 cc421-2W
Mr. Battle

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many people under the age of 18 years in the Leeds, West constituency and in the Leeds metropolitan district council area, will be offered a YTS place; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Cope

In 1988–89, about 2,400 young people in the Leeds metropolitan district area are expected to be offered a place on YTS. A separate figure for Leeds, West is not readily available.

The Government have given an undertaking that a YTS place will be made available for all young people under the age of 18 years who want one.
