HC Deb 15 May 1963 vol 677 c157W
72. Mr. Ainsley

asked the Minister of Labour what are his proposals for dealing with the increasing number of school leavers in the west of Durham who cannot be placed in employment.

Mr. Whitelaw

Much of West Durham is scheduled as a development district, and school leavers in the area should benefit from this and from the other measures which the Government have taken to increase employment opportunities in the North East. The Youth Employment Service will continue to make every effort to find suitable jobs for school leavers.
