§ Mr. David Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total number of June school leavers in (a) the Parkhead area and (b) the Glasgow area.
§ Mr. Alexander FletcherMany pupils are uncertain in June whether they will return to school in the following term or not. The number who have actually left is therefore not known to schools until the autumn. Overall figures for each region will be available towards the end of the year, but figures for smaller areas are not available centrally.
