§ Mr. Steenasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many boys under 18 years and how many men between 18 and 25 years are now unemployed on Merseyside; and how this compares with figures month by month since October 1974.
§ Mr. John FraserI regret that the information is not available. Detailed age analyses are normally made in January and July but, owing to industrial action at local offices of the Employment Service Agency, the analysis due in January 1975 was not made.
