asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many children reached school-leaving age in the year 1966 in the Abertillery constituency; and how many of those failed to enter employment.

Approximately 800. Some of these stayed on at school or went to further education establishments. Others were seeking employment and their number should be available locally from the Youth Employment Officers.
