HC Deb 25 July 1983 vol 46 cc317-8W
Mr. Park

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of 1982 school leavers in Coventry found work in the course of that year; and what percentage of 1983 school leavers in Coventry is expected to find work by the end of the current year.

Mr. Peter Morrison

By the end of 1982, 20 per cent. of those known to the Coventry careers service who left school in 1982 had found work, 21 per cent. had entered further or higher education, 45 per cent. were participating in special measures schemes and 14 per cent. were registered as unemployed. I am not in a position to make a forecast for 1983.
