HC Deb 12 July 1982 vol 27 c279W
Mr. David Marshall

asked 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 Fletcher

Many 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.
