Mr. JacksonThe complete information requested can be provided only at disproportionate cost.

§ Ms. ShortTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment for Great Britain and each TEC what is his estimate of the number of ET and of YT trainees who receive English for speakers of other languages training; how many ET trainees are recruited under the specific ESOL eligibility route; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. JacksonDuring 1990–91 about 3 per cent. of all entrants to ET in Great Britain were assessed as requiring English for speakers of other languages—ESOL—training. Figures for those entering in each area now covered by the TEC/LEC network are given in the table. They do not necessarily relate to the provision of individual TECs/LECs. Information is not yet available for YT trainees. During 1990–91 about 2 per cent. of all ET entrants joined under ESOL special eligibility exemption criteria.

§ Ms. ShortTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what arrangements are made for non-employed or employed YT or ET trainees who lose their work placement because the employer closes or declares redundancies and who are returned to their YT managing agent or ET training manger; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. JacksonAll YT and ET trainees should receive individual training plans suitable to their training needs and relevant to employment. Training and enterprise councils are required to ensure that training providers use all reasonable endeavours to complete these plans. Where a provider is unable to fulfil a plan, a TEC must use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that the trainee concerned has the opportunity to continue with an identical, or closely similar, individual training plan.
