I have a breakdown of the places available that are specifically reserved for young people and additional places are also available, for which young people can also apply. Some 20,200 are specifically reserved for young people and I have the figures broken down under the headings of Youthreach and JobBridge. Under the JobBridge heading 2,000 places are reserved for young people but a further 11,300 places are also available and young people are not barred from applying for those. In all, there are 80,000 places, 20,000 places are reserved specifically for the young people and 58,400 additional places are available for which young people can apply - they are not barred from doing so. Therefore, there are far more than 20,200 places available.
