§ Mr. JannerTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what information she has on the employment prospects for people who are unemployed and do not enter employment training.
§ Mr. McLoughlinThe Department does not produce forecasts of the employment prospects of people who are unemployed. Information based on claimant data for April 1991—April 1992 shows that 41 per cent. of individuals unemployed for six months will leave the register before they have been unemployed for 12 months. It is not possible to determine how many of these individuals will leave to go into ET, leave the labour market or find employment.
