HC Deb 16 January 1990 vol 165 cc218-9W
15. Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of employment training places in the north-west are unfilled.

Mr. Nicholls

At 15 December 1989 about 21 per cent. of employment training places in the Training Agency's north-west region were unfilled.

31. Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what recent representations he has received about employment training.

Mr. Nicholls

My Department receives a wide range of representations, from both individuals and organisations about employment training, all of which receive careful consideration.

50. Mr. Allen McKay

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment when he expects to publish his Department's survey into the overall performance of the employment training scheme.

Mr. Nicholls

The first results from the 100 per cent. follow-up survey of employment training leavers have already been made public. These show that 58 per cent. of trainees completing their agreed training went into jobs or self-employment or further full-time education or training.

70. Mr. Malcolm Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on his Department's 100 per cent. follow-up survey of employment training.

Mr. Nicholls

The latest results from the 100 per cent. follow-up survey of employment training leavers show that 58 per cent. of trainees completing their agreed training went into jobs or self-employment or further full-time training or education. This is clear evidence that the programme is playing a major role in helping unemployed people to get back into work.
