HC Deb 06 May 1981 vol 4 cc68-9W
Mr. Brocklebank-Fowler

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the number of registered unemployed school leavers at the King's Lynn, Fakenham, Hunstanton and Swaffham office for April each year from 1970 to 1981, inclusive.

Mr. Peter Morrison

[pursuant to his reply, 30 April 1981, c. 431]: The precise information is not available. Most school leavers in these areas register at the Kings Lynn and Dereham careers offices, which cover a somewhat wider area. The following table gives the numbers of unemployed school leavers under 18 years of age registered at these offices at April each year from 1973, the earliest date for which information is available. The table also includes a few who registered at employment offices.
