§ 6.59 p.m.
§ Mr. James H. Hoy (Edinburgh, Leith)I beg to move,
That this House views with concern the continuing high rate of unemployment among young people in Scotland, resulting in their leaving their own country to find employment elsewhere; and calls on the Government to speed-up training facilities and industrial development in Scotland, so that young Scots may equip themselves to meet the needs for a diversified industry, and be given an opportunity of finding employment in their own country.All I can do now is to say that I have enjoyed the debate which has just ended and express my great regret that we did not find time to discuss unemployment among young people in Scotland. I well understand the reason for the previous debate occupying all the private Members' time available.The outlook for young people in Scotland is exceedingly bad and I am sure that if we had had time we could have had just as interesting a debate as the one which the House has just finished.
