§ Mr. GILBERTasked the Minister of Labour what is the present number of girls and boys leaving school who are at present registered as unemployed in London; how many juvenile Employment Exchanges there are who deal with this class of labour; and what methods his Department use in order to deal with this kind of labour which requires employment?
§ Sir M. BARLOWThere were, on 20th November, 3,150 boys and 2,300 girls between the ages of 14 and 16 registered as unemployed at the 22 London Exchanges which deal with boys and girls through their juvenile departments. I cannot describe the methods of working of these juvenile departments within the limits of a Parliamentary answer, but I may mention that great importance is attached to this side of the work, and 2983W that invaluable assistance is given by the London Central Juvenile Advisory Committee and its local committees.
