§ Mr. GUYasked the Minister of Labour the total number of insured juveniles aged 14 to 16 in employment at the last convenient date?
§ Mr. E. BROWNI regret that precise statistics on the point are not available. The total number of juveniles aged under 16, to whom unemployment books had been issued up to the end of June, 1935, and who had not reached 16 years of age at that date, was approximately 916,000, and the number recorded as unemployed at 24th June, 1935, was approximately 28,000. I have no information, however, as to the numbers included in the balance of 888,000 who were absent from work owing to sickness or other reasons, or who were no longer seeking insurable employment.
