§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proportion of youth training placement trainees have gained qualifications during their training within each training and enterprise council area in Wales in each of the last two years; and if he will indicate the proportion of disabled trainees who have gained qualifications within each training and enterprise council area over the same period.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsInformation relating to the achievement of qualifications on youth training is provided in the tables.
Table 1 Qualifications obtained during 1990–91 Full qualification Per cent. Part qualification Per cent. Gwent 26 17 Swansea 35 21 Cardiff 29 19 Wrexham 40 23 The figures relate to the four areas of Wales which existed prior to the setting up of training and enterprise councils, TECs. Reliable figures on qualifications obtained are not available for TECs for 1990–91, since TECs in Wales were mostly operational for only a small part of the year. 863W
Table 2 Qualifications obtained April-December 1991 Full qualification Per cent. Part qualification Per cent. Gwent 24 15 West Wales 35 22 Mid Glamorgan 27 19 South Glamorgan 26 15 North West Wales 46 24 These are the latest available figures for TECs, since the follow up of YT leavers is undertaken six months after leaving.
Figures for north-east Wales and Powys are not available owing to the low number of respondents to the follow-up survey in those areas.
Table 3 Qualifications obtained by disabled trainees Full qualification Per cent. Part qualification Per cent. Wales (total) 16 14 This information relates to qualifications obtained in the period April 1990 to March 1991. Because of the relatively small numbers of disabled trainees involved in the survey, information on the basis of individual TECs is not statistically reliable.
