HC Deb 18 January 1949 vol 460 cc8-9
16. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Labour how many Poles leaving higher and ordinary schools, respectively, have failed to be placed in work owing to inadequate knowledge of English in the first and last six months of 1948 respectively; and what proportion these are of all those leaving Polish schools in this country.

Mr. Isaacs

The available records do not enable me to give the information in the precise form asked for. At the end of December there were 232 of these young people registered for employment, of whom 71 had come on to the register during that month.
