§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Minister of Labour how many school-leavers got apprenticeships in Scotland in the year to the latest convenient date in 1967; how many he estimates there will be in 1968; and if he will break down the total number by counties.
§ Mr. FernyhoughThe provisional figures for 1967 are as follows:
Boys Girls Total 12,756 1,618 14,374 I do not expect any substantial change in the figures for 1968.
A breakdown of the total number by counties is not readily available.
