HC Deb 21 December 1976 vol 923 cc159-60W
Mr. Molloy

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish figures for the past six months relating to employment and unemployment of teenagers in the London borough of Ealing.

Mr. Golding

Up-to-date age analyses of the numbers of employees are not currently available. At July 1976, the latest date for which an age analysis of the numbers unemployed is available, 1,199 aged under 20 years were registered in the employment office areas of Acton, Ealing and Southall, which most closely represent the London Borough of Ealing. This figure included 482 school leavers. At October 1976, the latest date for which information about school leavers is available, the number had fallen to 173.
