Mr. P. Thomas

Figures are not available for areas within Scotland.

Although figures for Scotland are available for the yearly intake of new apprentices, there are no statistics showing the total numbers and percentages of apprentices.

In Scotland, 10,733 boys—33.3 per cent. of all boys under 18 entering employment—started work as apprentices or learners in 1960. In 1957, the figure was 10,565 (33.6 per cent.).
