HC Deb 19 December 1960 vol 632 c105W
66. Mr. J. Griffiths

asked the Minister of Labour if his attention has been called to the report of the youth employment officer to the Ammanford and District Local Employment Committee that school leavers in the area are returning to school because no work is available for them; and what steps the Government is taking to provide employment for them.

Mr. P. Thomas

Yes. Young people return to school for various reasons, and I do not think it is possible to say how far lack of suitable employment is the deciding factor. Ammanford area and Llanelly are development districts under the Local Employment Act, and young people will share in any extra employment that may be attracted to these areas.
