HC Deb 26 June 1972 vol 839 cc246-7W
79. Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, in view of the concern about unemployment among young people, what specific study of the situation and what steps to remedy it he is now considering.

Mr. Dudley Smith

The unemployment position of young people is constantly studied by my Department. Already various measures to alleviate the position have been taken and the need for further measures is being kept closely under review. The particular problem of job opportunities for the less well qualified is already being studied by the National Youth Employment Council.
