§ Mr. McLoughlinThe information is not available in the form requested.
At 13 September 1992 there were 3,865 young people on youth training in the Barnsley and Doncaster area. Six months and 12 months previously, the figure was 3,676 and 4,403 respectively. These figures reflect seasonal fluctuations and the demographic downturn in school leavers.
Barnsley/Doncaster TEC is confident that the Government's guarantee of a training place to eligible young people will be met.
