asked the Secretary of State for Employment (1) if he will compile a list showing each of the youth and other employment schemes, including training schemes, now in operation; and if he will also show the date when each scheme commenced, the gross and net cost to date, the main purpose of the scheme, the number of young people who have benefited during each year of operation, and the weekly wage or allowance paid in each case;(2) how much is paid out in wages and allowances each week to young people engaged in each of job creation, community industry, work experience and training under one of the TOPS training schemes.

I will reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
