§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what new policies he intends to adopt to ensure that school leavers without a job obtain employment.
§ Mr. David HuntThe careers service and the employment service offer help to school leavers who wish to take up employment. School leavers need the opportunity to acquire skills and qualifications if they are to take their place successfully in the labour market, and all 16 and 17-year-olds leaving full-time education are entitled to a youth training place. By 1996, all such 16 and 17-year-old leavers will be able to claim a training credit, and the value of the training credit will be an incentive to employers to engage them.
