§ Mr. Steenasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many unemployed school leavers there are in the Middlesbrough area.
§ Mr. GoldingI regret that due to industrial action complete statistics of the unemployed have not been collected since October 1976. However, the great majority of school leavers register with the careers service provided by local education authorities and on 9th December 1976 the number registered at Middlesbrough was 324.
