HC Deb 06 July 1964 vol 698 cc40-1W
Mr. Ainsley

asked the Minister of Labour if he will give the number of young people expected to leave school in the Crook, County Durham, juvenile employment exchange area this summer term; and what prospects of employment there are for them in the area.

Mr. Whitelaw

About 230 boys and girls are expected to leave school in the Crook Youth Employment Office area this summer. I am hopeful that most of them will be able to obtain employment without undue difficulty. I am glad to say that none of the 127 boys and girls who left school at Easter was still registered for first employment at Mid-June.
