To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if she will list the supply and demand of youth training places in each training and enterprise council area on a monthly basis for the last six months.

Information on the availability of youth training places is not collected nationally. However, I am satisfied that there is sufficient YT provision available to meet demand. Information on the total demand for YT places is also not collected, but the number of young people who are registered with careers services in England, who are covered by the YT guarantee and have been waiting for a YT place for eight or more weeks in March and April is shown in the table. Information for the previous months is not reliable.
