HC Deb 19 May 1993 vol 225 c217W
Ms Jowell

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what information she has derived from the sample of trainees who have taken out career development loans on the proportion of them who secured employment within(a) three months and (b) six months.

Mr. McLoughlin

Career development loan follow-up questionnaires are sent out to a 20 per cent. random sample of trainees three months after completing their training. Results from this follow-up show that, over the 1992–93 financial year, 69 per cent. had obtained jobs immediately following training. A further 4 per cent. went on to take further training.

As no further questionnaires are sent out, it is not possible to provide information on those obtaining jobs after six months.
