HC Deb 03 May 1978 vol 949 cc124-5W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage of those currently unemployed in the Tayside Region are under 25 years of age.

Mr. Gregor MacKenzie

In January 1978, the latest date for which this information is available, 39.9 per cent. of those registered as unemployed in the Tayside Region were under 25 years of age. This figure can now be expected to be somewhat lower due to the absorption in employment of a substantial number of the Christmas school leavers.
