HC Deb 14 May 1962 vol 659 c93W
42. Mr. Short

asked the Minister of Labour if his regional officials will consult the Youth Employment Committee in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in view of the excessive unemployment among school leavers, particulars of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Central.

Mr. Green

Our officers maintain close liaison with the Youth Employment Committee. By 30th April all but 9 of the 1,331 Christmas 1961 school leavers were in employment and good progress was being made in placing the Easter school leavers.
