§ Mr. Geoffrey Finsbergasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many school leavers in the Camden/Hampstead constituency there were without jobs on 1st September 1975; how many vacancies were available; and what were the comparable figures for 1st September 1975, 1974 and 1973.
§ Mr. GoldingThe figures relate to the September statistical count date which this year was 9th September and not 1st September. I regret that local careers office records for September 1973 have now been destroyed. The figures that are available are as follows:
Unemployed school leavers Sept. 1976 … … 158 Sept. 1975 … … 81 Sept. 1974 … … 37 Unfilled vacancies Sept. 1976 … … 63 Sept. 1975 … … 152 Sept. 1974 … … 166
