§ Mr. Woodhouseasked the Secretary of State for Employment when he expects to announce his decisions on the recommendations submitted to his Department in 1970 by the Central Youth Employment Council on the future of the Youth Employment Service.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithMy right hon. Friend has considered these recommendations and the subsequent views of the Council, and many other organisations, on a consultative document about the employment services as a whole. A decision must, however, await the outcome of the wide-ranging review which we are making of the Department's manpower policies and services.
