§ Mr. Evennettasked the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of those children who left school in the summer of 1983 are still registered as unemployed.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkOn 8 December 1983, the number of unemployed school leavers under 18 years of age claiming benefit in the United Kingdom was 118,087. The statistics do not separately distinguish how many of these were summer 1983 leavers and the percentage requested cannot, therefore, be calculated.
