HC Deb 03 July 1963 vol 680 c62W
69. Mr. Hunter

asked the Minister of Labour how many school leavers he expects to be available for employment this year in comparison with 1962; and if he will take steps to ensure they are suitable placed in employment in commerce and industry.

Mr. Hare

About 550,000 in 1963 compared with 657,000 who started work in 1962. I have taken steps to ensure that through the Youth Employment Service these young people are given all possible assistance in finding suitable employment.
