HC Deb 01 July 1971 vol 820 cc163-4W
Mr. John D. Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the latest figures relating to the London Borough of Islington's registered unemployed, for school leavers still without jobs, and the number of unfilled vacancies available to school leavers; and what is the estimated number of school leavers requiring employment after the end of the present school term.

Mr. Dudley Smith

In the area which includes Islington there were no school leavers still registered as unemployed in June, 1971, when there were 691 unfilled vacancies for young people. It is estimated that 2,900 young people will be leaving school at the end of the summer term, but it is not yet possible to say how many jobs will then be available for them.

Mr. John D. Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the latest figure for the number of persons under the age of 21 years registered as unemployed in the London Borough of Islington; and what was the figure in June, 1970.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Information for this precise age group is not available, but a detailed age analysis of the registered wholly unemployed made in January and July distinguishes those under 20 years of age. Following is the available information:
