HC Deb 22 February 1989 vol 147 cc651-2W
Mr. Loyden

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is the latest information available on the number of people who transferred from the community programme to employment training; and what is this figure as a percentage of community programme participants.

Mr. Nicholls

To the end of December 1988, the latest date for which information is available, it is estimated that about 9,000 people had transferred from the community programme to employment training. This is about 5 per cent. of the number on the community programme at 31 August 1988. These figures exclude people who transferred to employment training after completing their work on the community programme.
