§ 12. Mr. Smallasked the Minister of Labour what is the estimated increase for 1962 over 1960 in the number of youths under 18 years of age leaving school in Glasgow in search of employment; and what special steps are being 126W taken to ensure that enough new jobs will be created to provide sufficient employment for all.
§ Mr, P. ThomasApproximately 1,200. Over the past year there has been a marked improvement in the employment situation for boys in Glasgow. On the present trends, I would not expect any widespread employment difficulties for the increased numbers of school leavers in the next two years. Glasgow is a development district under the Local Employment Act.
