HC Deb 31 May 1960 vol 624 c124W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Labour how many girls and how many boys are expected to leave school in County Durham at the end of the summer term, 1960; and in which localities he expects to find difficulty in finding them employment.

Mr. P. Thomas

3,300 boys and 2,700 girls. There should be little difficulty in placing the girls. There may be some difficulty with boys in the development districts and in Blaydon and parts of North West Durham, but the great majority should be in employment within a short time of leaving school.
