HC Deb 03 March 1978 vol 945 cc404-5W
Mr. Clemitson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the latest estimate of the proportion of young persons between the ages of 16 and 19 years in full-time education.

Mr. Oakes

In January 1977 30 per cent. of the young people in England and Wales who were over the minimum school leaving age but under 19 were in full-time education. Indications are that the percentage in January 1978 is similar.
