§ 106. Mr. Hollisasked the Minister of Labour for what reason it has been decided to close down the Headmasters' Employment Committee.
Mr. Lee:The Youth Employment Service in London and the Home Counties is now being provided by the local education authorities. The Ministry of Labour is, therefore, relinquishing the work on which the Headmasters' Employment Committee has hitherto advised it. I would like to take this opportunity of expressing my right hon. Friend's high appreciation of the advice and assistance received from the Committee over the many years that the Ministry was providing this service.
