§ 30. Sir J. Graham Kerrasked the President of the Board of Education if he can give an estimate, however rough, of the cost to the country involved in 2135 persons between the ages of 14 and 16 years being excluded from productive employment.
§ Mr. EdeI am afraid that I cannot give the desired estimate, as there are no statistics relating to the earnings of young people of 14 and 15 separately from the earnings of other age-groups.
