HC Deb 22 February 1922 vol 150 c1886
39. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Minister of Labour whether his Department has made any fresh arrangements as regards the helping of juveniles at Employment Exchanges; whether an officer is now attached to schools in London; and whether girls or boys leaving school can only obtain the help of Employment Exchanges for employment through the officers attached to the schools, or if they can apply to any Employment Exchange dealing with juveniles?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Since August last officers of the Juvenile Departments of the Exchanges have attended at day continuation schools in order to advise and place in employment the juveniles concerned. To obviate the necessity for the attendance of juveniles requiring employment both at the day continuation schools and at the Juvenile Departments, juveniles register at the Exchanges and not at the schools.

Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that at these day continuation schools they sometimes play football?

Dr. MACNAMARA

That question should be put to the Minister of Education.
