§ Mr. Randallasked the Minister of Labour what is the estimated number of summer school leavers in Gateshead this year; and how many jobs will be available for them.
§ Mr. WhitelawAbout. 880 boys and girls are expected to leave school in Gateshead this summer. I is not possible to forecast how many jobs will be available for them, but vacancies for young people in the area have been increasing. The Youth Employment Service is energetically canvassing for vacancies, and will shortly be issuing to local employers a note from the Central Youth Employment Executive drawing attention to the large number of school leavers to be expected this summer.
