HC Deb 16 March 1989 vol 149 c314W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish figures from all available sources as to the number of 16 to 18-year-olds in Greenock and Port Glasgow without a YTS place, and known to the local careers office to be without work.

Mr. Lang

The only information available on the number of young people seeking YTS places is that held by the local careers services. I understand that on 9 March 1989, 116 young people were registered for work or a YTS place at careers offices in Greenock and Port Glasgow.
