§ 28. Mr. Kenneth Lindsayasked the Minister of Labour whether he can offer any explanation for the persistence of juvenile unemployment generally above the figure of 20,000 during the past year?
§ Mr. BevinThere is little persistent unemployment among juveniles, and that little is found only in certain areas. The figure to which my hon. Friend refers represents mainly the number of boys and girls changing over from one job to another on the day of the count and the effect of school-leaving. In general, the experience is that a juvenile registering for employment is placed very shortly after registration.
