§ 10. Major Guy Lloydasked the Minister of Labour whether the assessment of young peoples' capacities and suitability for various grades of employment made by the officials of Youth Employment committees are available to parents on request.
§ Sir W. MoncktonThere is no formal assessment of this kind which could be made available to parents, but Youth Employment officers are always ready to discuss with parents the capacity and suitability of a young person for various kinds of employment.
§ Major LloydIs my right hon. and learned Friend aware that there is a certain amount of indignation among parents who appear to think their rights and interests in these matters are being ignored by some of his officials? Will he give instructions to his officials to take cognisance of that fact?
§ Sir W. MoncktonI do not think it would be a good thing to compel Youth Employment officers to keep more than notes of their interviews. They do not make a formal assessment. As long as they are prepared to deal with parents and tell them the results those notes display I should have thought that would be enough.
