HC Deb 09 June 1976 vol 912 c694W
29. Mr. Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will take steps to ensure that young people are encouraged to stay on in school after they reach school leaving age, thus making some contribution towards a reduction in youth unemployment.

Mr. McElhone

Education authority careers officers and guidance staff are aware of the importance of encouraging young people to stay on at school after they reach school leaving age if this would be of benefit to them.
