§ Mr. HaselhurstTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many young people are currently on YT schemes; and how many are awaiting places on YT schemes for each training and enterprise council area in England.
§ Mr. McLoughlinThe number of young people who are currently on youth training (YT), and the number who are guaranteed a place and have been waiting for eight weeks or longer, for each training and enterprise council area in England, are provided in the following table.
In April there were 5,300 young people who had been waiting for a YT place for more than eight weeks compared with 32,500 last September. This is a commendable achievement which I hope will continue.
