§ 45. Mrs. Mannasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that youths completing pre-apprenticeship courses in Coatbridge and Lanarkshire cannot be placed in work; and what steps are being taken to deal with this situation.
§ Mr. WoodAs the pre-apprenticeship courses will not be completed until the end of this month it is too soon to assess the success of students in obtaining employment. The Youth Employment22W Service is as usual giving all the assistance it can, though the work of placing young people in employment may take longer this year.
