§ 38. Mr. Woodburnasked the President of the Board of Trade what new industrial enterprises planned for Stirling and Clackmannanshire are likely to be in production by 1962; what is the estimated increase in employment these new enterprises will produce; and what proportion of the new jobs provided will be for youths under 18 years of age.
§ Mr. N. MacphersonEight, including seven expansions, to provide 398 jobs.
§ Mr. WoodburnHas the Minister seen the rather gloomy prophecies of the school and youth employment officers that in the next two or three years there will be a big increase in the proportion of youths among jobless persons? Has he any comment To make on these prophecies?
§ Mr. MacphersonI think that that is a rather different question from the one on the Order Paper. I should not like to comment on that aspect.
