HC Deb 07 December 1922 vol 159 c2032W
Viscountess ASTOR

asked the President of the Board of Education, approximately, how many young persons below the age of 18 years attended the day-time educational centres, which were set up after the Armistice, while they were in receipt of unemployment benefit?

Mr. WOOD

I have no figures showing the total number of young persons below the age of 18 who ever at any time attended the centres; but the maximum number in attendance at any one time was about 17,000 daily.
