HC Deb 01 April 1985 vol 76 cc454-5W
Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of Stale for Wales what is his estimate of the number of school leavers in Wales who have not had permanent jobs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Stradling Thomas

School leavers are classed as unemployed claimants who have never been in employment. At February 1985 the number in Wales was 20,180.
