HC Deb 15 February 1994 vol 237 c747W
Mr. Frank Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the numbers of people of all ages who are registered unemployed and who have never had a job since leaving school; and if he will give a breakdown of this data on those having left school over a year, over five years and over 10 years ago.
