HC Deb 17 November 1933 vol 281 c1186W
Mr. WHITE

, asked the Minister of Labour, as on the latest convenient date, the number of unemployed juveniles within the age limits 14–16 and 16–18?

Sir H. BETTERTON

It is not possible to give separate figures for uninsured juveniles registered as unemployed within these two age groups. At 23rd October, 1933, there were 89,538 unemployed juveniles under 18 years of age on the registers of Employment Exchanges and Juvenile Employment Bureaux in Great Britain, of whom 38,730 were insured juveniles aged 16 and 17, and 50,808 were uninsured juveniles aged 14 to 18.
