§ Earl Russellasked Her Majesty's Government:
What is, (a) the median duration; and (b) the average duration; of a youth training course; and whether these figures have changed since 1991.
§ Lord InglewoodAccurate information is available only on the time trainees spend with individual training providers. That is not the full length of stay on a Youth92WA Training (YT) programme, as an individual can train with a number of different training providers.
The average length of stay with an individual training provider of those trainees who left YT in the period April 1994 to January 1995 was 40 weeks. The median duration was 27 weeks. The average length of stay with an individual training provider of those trainees who left YT in 1991–92 was 49 weeks. The median duration was 38 weeks.
