§ Mr. G. Macdonaldasked the Minister of Labour whether he will state the number of juveniles between 14 and 18 years of age registered as unemployed in Lancashire; and whether this aspect of the problem of unemployment is receiving special attention?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydAt 15th May, 1939, there were 11,207 unemployed juveniles, 53W aged 14 and under 18 years, on the registers of Employment Exchanges and Juvenile Employment Bureaux in Lancashire. With regard to the second part of the question, special attention is always given to unemployment among juveniles, particularly through the Authorised Courses of Instructions for unemployed boys and girls, and the Juvenile Transference Scheme.
