HC Deb 21 February 1980 vol 979 c295W
Mr. Frank R. White

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the average time that a 16 year old school leaver has to wait, to secure employment in each of the metropolitan districts of Greater Manchester and remaining regions of Great Britain.

Mr. Jim Lester

I regret that the information is not available. An analysis by age and duration of the registered unemployed is made quarterly on selected dates but does not distinguish school leavers from others registered as unemployed.
