§ 20. Lord EUSTACE PERCYasked the Minister of Labour what measures the Government propose to take to counteract the effect which will be produced by the raising of the school-leaving age in accentuating the fluctuations in the number of juveniles in or available for employment during the next decade?
§ Miss BONDFIELDIt is in my opinion necessary to consider the whole question of the prospective supply of and demand for juvenile labour in different parts of the country, and I have decided to ask the two national Advisory Councils for Juvenile Employment to consider this question and to advise as to any measures which should be taken for the purpose of adjusting the relations between the supply and the demand.
§ Mr. BEAUMONTWill the right hon. Lady also consult the local unemployment committees?
§ Miss BONDFIELDThat comes into the machinery.
