Ms. Short

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give for Great Britain and each region the number of YTS trainees in training as at December 1987 and December 1988, showing for each gender the numbers in each training occupational group.

Mr. Eggar

Due to the length of the reply, I will write to the hon. Member with the information and place a copy in the Library.

Ms. Short

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is the latest available information from the YTS leavers' survey showing the earnings of those who remain in employment following the completion of YTS for both male and female, by each ethnic group and for each United Kingdom region.

Mr. Eggar

The information requested is not available from the YTS leavers survey as the survey does not request earnings details.
