HC Deb 28 February 1962 vol 654 c140W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Labour when he expects that opportunities for girl school leavers seeking clerical posts in the North-East will approximate to the average position in England.

Mr. Hare

Over the past three years the proportion of girl school leavers entering clerical employment has been rising more rapidly in the Northern Region than in the country as a whole. I hope that the opportunities for clerical employment will continue to increase.
