HC Deb 23 July 1976 vol 915 c673W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many of the unemployed are school leavers; and how many of them have never worked since leaving school.

Mr. Golding

199,955 on 8th July. For statistical purposes the expression "school-leaver" is only applied to those young people who have had no full-time employment since completing full-time education.
