§ Mr. MaxtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage of the Scottish work force has no qualifications; and what percentage of Scottish school leavers leave school with no qualifications on the most recently available figures.
§ Mr. LangThe latest information from the labour force survey shows that in spring 1989, 29 per cent. of the Scottish work force had no qualifications. In 1987–88, the lastest period for which figures are available, 15 per cent. of Scottish school leavers had no SCE qualifications.
