HC Deb 16 June 1975 vol 893 c353W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many young persons in the area covered by the Macclesfield office of his Department, who have left school in the last 12 months, have still not found their first employment; what are the estimated opportunities for those young persons who leave school in July this year; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Fraser

On 12th May there were 25, most of whom left school at Easter. It is still too early to make reliable estimates of prospects for summer school leavers, but local reports suggest that in the Macclesfield area most of them are likely to find employment without undue delay.
