HC Deb 15 July 1980 vol 988 c473W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list those local education authorities in England which have not made provision in their own establishment for the employment of careers officers with special responsibility for work with handicapped young people.

Mr. Jim Lester

[pursuant to his reply, 11 July 1980, c. 317]: On 1 April 1980, the latest date for which information is available, one local education authority in England, Wirral, had not made provision in its establishment for the employment of a careers officer with special responsibility for work with handicapped young people.

This authority has arranged for all its careers officers to take their share of work with handicapped young people.
