HC Deb 22 May 1984 vol 60 c436W
Mr. Jack Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the projected numbers of young people leaving school and the projected job vacancies for the school summer leaving date in Northumberland.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The Northumberland careers service estimates that 4,450 young people will become eligible to leave school this year. Projections of job vacancies are not made, but the Manpower Services Commission plan to provide 2,391 youth training scheme places in Northumberland during 1984–85.
