To ask the Secretary of State for Employment, at the end of June, July, August and September how many people of YTS eligible age, registered with jobcentres or the careers service, were awaiting an offer of a YTS place; and of them, how many were receiving bridging allowance or extended child benefit or income support.

Mr. Nicholls

Only local careers services hold information on the total number of young people awaiting the offer of a YTS place. There is no central record.
