HC Deb 14 February 1992 vol 203 c683W
Mr. Maxton

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage of the existing Scottish work force has vocational qualifications.

Mr. Allan Stewart

[holding answer 11 February 1992]: Information relating to the qualifications held by those who are of working age, and economically active, is available from the labour force survey. In 1990, the proportion of this group holding one or more qualifications was 72 per cent. It is not possible to distinguish academic and vocational qualifications because only the highest qualification held is recorded.
