HC Deb 24 June 1925 vol 185 c1546W
Mr. MAXTON

asked the Minister of Labour how many Juvenile Unemployment Centres are now open in England and Wales and Scotland, respectively: how many juveniles are in attendance; and what proportion the number in attendance forms of the total number of unemployed juveniles?

Mr. BETTERTON

On 29th May there were 82 Juvenile Unemployment Centres open in England and Wales and 40 in Scotland. The average attendance during the week ended 29th May was 7,563, or 12 per cent. of the total number of juveniles then registered for employment at all Employment Exchanges and Juvenile Employment Bureaux. I am unable to say how many unregistered juveniles are unemployed.
