HL Deb 15 March 1993 vol 543 c70WA
Earl Russell

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What proportion of the "almost 350,000 young people" (Social Trends 23, 4.33) who started youth training in 1990–91 were re-entrants.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Employment (Viscount Ullswater)

Information is only available on trainees leaving YT schemes. From data collected from trainees leaving in 1990–91, it is estimated that 31 per cent. had previously been on a YT scheme.
