Howellasked the Minister of Labour how many boys and girls who left school in Birmingham in December last have failed to find employment; how many boys and girls will be leaving school in Birmingham at Easter; and how many jobs are expected to be available for these school leavers.
§ Mr. Hare71 out of 3,900 boys and girls who left school at Christmas were registered for employment in mid-February. About 3,400 are expected to leave school at Easter.
