§ Mr. NichollsInformation is not available in the form requested.
The total number of entrants of the community programme in the 12 months to 31 May 1988 was 264,135, of whom about 50 per cent. were under 25. It is unlikely that the proportion in the under-25 age group will change significantly over the next two months. The total number of filled places at 31 May 1988 was 219,262.
