HC Deb 07 February 1984 vol 53 c542W
Mr. Boyes

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of school leavers in July 1983 in the Wearside travel-to-work area are still unemployed.

Mr. Alan Clark

On 12 January 1984, the number of unemployed school leavers under 18 years of age claiming benefit in the Wearside travel-to-work area was 1,196. The statistics do not separately distinguish how many of these left school in July 1983 and the percentage requested cannot, therefore, be calculated.
