HC Deb 31 July 1980 vol 989 c786W
Mr. John Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps he will take to encourage the use of children's employment officers.

Dr. Boyson

I have been asked to reply. Control over the employment of schoolchildren is exercised by local education authorities, which normally use their educational welfare officers to operate the control under local byelaws. I have no evidence to suggest that these arrangements are unsatisfactory.
