(2) what new proposals his Department has published for assisting young persons leaving school at 16 years of age-plus to obtain suitable employment.

Mr. Dudley Smith

In "People and Jobs", published in December 1971, the Government stated their intention of giving local education authorities the power to provide a careers guidance and placing service for school leavers of any age. Provision will be made for this service in the Employment and Training Bill which my right hon. Friend hopes to bring before the House shortly.
