HC Deb 05 July 1965 vol 715 c166W
Mr. Harry Randall

asked the Minister of Labour if he will state the estimated number of school leavers in September in Gateshead, and the number and percentage of boys and girls, respectively, who left school at Easter and are still unemployed.

Mr. Marsh

About 920 young people are expected to leave school in the Gates-head Youth Employment Office area this summer. Of the Easter leavers, 11 or 5.3 per cent. of the boys were still registered for first employment on 14th June, 1965; none of the girls was registered.
