39. Mr. Haselhurst

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what assessment he has made of the need for further measures to reduce unemployment in the 16 to 19 years age range.

Mr. Peter Morrison

An assessment of the need for further measures to reduce youth unemployment was made during autumn 1980. My right hon. Friend announced on 21 November 1980 that the youth opportunities programme would be expanded to provide 440,000 places for the young unemployed in 1981–82.
