HC Deb 20 January 1976 vol 903 cc394-5W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the percentage figure of unemployed young persons in Wales; and how this compares with the comparable figure for England.

Mr. John Fraser

Percentage rates of unemployment cannot be calculated separately for young people. However, in December 1975 young people aged under 20, excluding adult students, represented 17.4 per cent. of the total unemployed in Wales. The corresponding figure for England was 15.4 per cent.
