Dr. Godman : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the average weekly take-home pay for YTS leavers in (a) Greenock and Port Glasgow, (b) Strathclyde and (c) Scotland as a whole ; and what steps he is currently taking to review these pay rates.
Column 128
Mr. Lang : The Government do not collect such information. However, the centre for educational sociology at Edinburgh university gathered some information in autumn 1987 on average rates of pay offered to young people after they left YTS as part of the Scottish young people's survey. Details were as follows :
Column 129
|Gross weekly earnings|Sample numbers
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strathclyde |£86.02 |392

Mr. Rifkind [holding answer 27 February 1989] : I am always prepared to take account of the views of teachers' organisations when formulating policies for education in Scotland.
