HC Deb 01 July 1977 vol 934 c375W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the total estimated number of school leavers, college leavers and others in Great Britain who will be seeking a job for the first time during the months of June to September of this year.

Mr. Golding

Estimates provided by the Department of Education and Science and the Scottish Education Department indicate that about 564,000 young people will be leaving school to seek employment this summer. I regret that similar estimates of leavers from further education colleges and other higher eduction establishments are not available.
