To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate his Department has of the number of young people, under the youth training scheme, pursuing training in (a) engineering, (b) advanced motor vehicle maintenance and (c) science in 1989; and how many young people are expected to pursue such courses in the year following the issuing of new contracts for managing organisations in Wales.

[holding answer 8 June 1990]: The Training Agency's estimates are set out in the following table:

Notes:

1. Figure for Mid, South Glamorgan and West Wales are based on Training Occupational Classifications (TOCs) throughout.

2. Figures for Gwent, Powys, NE Wales and NW Wales based on TOCs for occupancy at 31 March 1990 and Standard Occupational Classifications (SOCs) for YT contracted places.

3. Specific information on Advance Motor Vehicle Maintenance is not held, but Training Agency Area Offices confirm that demand for training at this level can be met through the network of providers contracted for Youth Training.

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate his Department has of (a) the expenditure on youth training in (i) 1988–89, (ii) 1989–90, (iii) 1990–91, (iv) 1991–92 and (v) 1992–93, (b) the number of school leavers aged 16 and 17 years entering the market, (c) the numbers joining YTS or YT and (d) the gross public cost in pounds per trainee week, in each of those years.

[holding answer 8 June 1990]: Expenditure on youth training in Wales for 1988–89 and 1989–90 in respect of those places contracted by YTS providers with local area offices was £52·610 million and £50·746 million respectively. Additionally, it is estimated that a further £10 million of expenditure per year is spent on youth training in Wales through the Training Agency's national providers unit which contracts with large companies with outlets throughout the United Kingdom. For 1990–91 planned expenditure in respect of those places contracted by YT providers with local area offices is £45·750 million. Figures are not available for future years.The number of 16 and 17-year-olds leaving school in Wales in the school years 1988–89 and 1989–90 was 30,200 and 29,000 respectively. For future school years, the estimate is 28,000 in 1990–91, 26,900 in 1991–92 and 26,500 in 1992–93. These figures refer to all school leavers and not just those entering the labour market, for whom separate figures are not available.The numbers joining YTS in the 1988–89 and 1989–90 financial years was 18,758 and 17,781 respectively. For 1990–91, the provisional estimate for those entering youth training is 17,300. No figures are available for future financial years.Figures on the gross public cost in pounds per trainee week are not available for Wales.
