HC Deb 01 August 1924 vol 176 c2410W
Major HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Labour the number of men under 30 years of age and of boys, respectively, who have completed their apprenticeship to skilled trades and who are registered as unemployed at the employment exchanges of Plymouth and Devonport?

Mr. SHAW

It has been ascertained that the number of males under 30 years of age who had completed an apprenticeship to skilled trades and were registered at 26th July as unemployed was 94 at the Devonport Employment Exchange, and 63 at Plymouth. As apprenticeship is not normally completed before 21 years of age, there are no boys in this category.
