§ Mr. Boydenasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many boys and girls, aged 15 to 18, employed by local authorities are currently attending day release classes; and what proportion this forms of the total number of juveniles employed by them.
§ Mr. CorfieldThis information is not available. But the usual conditions of service for local authority employees provide for post-entry training, and for financial assistance towards such training where appropriate. I understand that the day release of young local authority employees is widespread and increasing.
