HC Deb 12 July 1977 vol 935 cc76-7W
13. Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many sch000l leavers are currently unemployed on Merseyside; and what the figure is likely to be at the end of the summer term.

Mr. Golding

10,000 school leavers were registered as unemployed on Merseyside on 9th June, and of these about 5,500 left school on or after 27th May. I regret that it is not possible to forecast reliably how many are likely to be unemployed when the summer term ends in mid-July.
