HC Deb 16 June 1948 vol 452 cc57-8W
97. Mr. Beattie

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total value of seizures of dutiable goods entering Northern Ireland from Eire; and the amount realised from salvage sale of these goods for 12 months ended 31st May, 1947.

Twenty-five thousand young workers under 15 were also released, giving a total for that year of 121,000 students under 18. Distribution by age is not available for previous years and comparison can be made only of the total numbers of students released. These were 42,000 in 1937–38, 91,000 in 1944–45, 127,000 in 1945–46 and 167,000 in 1946–47.
