HC Deb 18 March 1976 vol 907 c610W
Mr. O'Halloran

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement regarding the number of school leavers currently unemployed in the Greater London area; and what plans the Government has to provide them with suitable employment.

Mr. John Fraser

The February figure of 1,576 remains unacceptably high, although there has been a considerable fall since August last year. The special measures already taken by the Government should help these young people to find suitable employment.
