§ 21. Mr. BeggsTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many new jobs need to be created in 1992–93 in Northern Ireland to provide jobs for school leavers in 1993.
§ Mr. AtkinsAbout 9,000 school leavers are expected to enter the labour market in 1993. Some of these will take newly created jobs and some will find jobs vacated by others, for example people retiring, changing employment, or moving from Northern Ireland. Those 16 and 17-year-olds who do not find a job immediately are guaranteed a place on the youth training programme.
