HC Deb 14 November 1972 vol 846 cc91-2W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the number of school leavers now out of work in the Newark area; how many have found jobs since July; and what action he is taking.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Fourteen school leavers were registered as unemployed in the Newark area in October—a drop of 87 since July. The great majority of the 900 or so young people who left school at the end of the summer term have now found jobs. Careers officers are doing all they can to help young people find work.
