§ Mr. Andersonasked the President of the Board of Trade what action he proposes to take to provide more jobs for young people in South Monmouthshire, following the disclosure in the February-March, 1967 report of the South Monmouthshire Youth Employment Committee that in July, 1967 there were, in addition to the statistics of registered unemployed shown in the report, 109 boys and 109 girls registered, of whom 128 were school-leavers, with only three unfilled vacancies in the area.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyI am aware of the problem referred to. Young people should benefit from developments taking place in the area and I would welcome the creation of suitable additional employment opportunities. Where we can actively assist, as in the Development Area, I should be willing to do so.
