HC Deb 07 July 1993 vol 228 c160W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what percentage of TEC leavers went on to secure full employment from each of the TECs in Wales last year; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Redwood

The latest information available for leavers securing full-time employment is for the period September 1991 to August 1992 and is set out in the table. I encourage the training and enterprise councils to continue to improve performance in training for young people and the unemployed.
