§ 36. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the number of juveniles out of employment, he will, in conjunction with the Minister of Labour, institute classes similar to those provided during the period of demobilisation after the War?
§ 128. Mr. SNOWDENasked the Minister of Labour if, in his contemplated schemes for dealing with unemployment, he is making any provision for the training, education, or employment of boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 18, and, if so, what; and is he aware that the children are leaving the elementary schools at the rate of 50,000 a month and that in many cases no occupation can be found for them, with disastrous consequences on their future?
§ The MINISTER of LABOUR (Sir Montague Barlow)I have been asked to reply. As stated yesterday in my reply to the Noble Lady the Member for Plymouth (Viscountess Astor), I am at the moment considering, in consultation with, my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Education, what steps can be taken to deal with juvenile unemployment, but I am not yet in a position to give any further information.
