asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many young people will have become employed through the youth opportunities programme in the Farnham parliamentary constituency by 1st June; and how many young people in the Farnham parliamentary constituency are eligible under the programme.
I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that statistics showing the number of young people who had become employed through the youth opportunities programme in the Farnham parliamentary constituency by 1st June are not yet available. However, the number of places which had been approved by that date was 21. The number of young people in the Farnham parliamentary constituency who were eligible under the programme at 1st June was 23.
asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will set out in the Official Report in tabular form, for each of the employment service offices within the Farnham parliamentary constituency (a) the number of persons unemployed by previous trade, (b) the number of unemployed young people who have had no employment for more than three months since leaving school and are at the present time registered as unemployed, (c) the number of registered unemployed graduates under 40 years, (d) the number of unemployed graduates over 40 years, and (e) the number of vacancies for each trade for the latest convenient date.
The table below gives the numbers registered as unemployed, analysed according to the industry in which they last worked, the numbers of unfilled vacancies in these industries, and the numbers of unemployed school leavers at 11th May 1978 in the area covered by the Farnham, Goldaming and Liphook employment offices, which closely corresponds to the Farnham parliamentary constituency. Statistics are available of the total numbers of unemployed school leavers but not of those unemployed for more than three months. The statistics do not separately identify graduates from others unemployed.Following is the table:

The vacancy figures relate only to vacancies notified to employment offices and careers offices and are not a measure of total vacancies. Because of possible duplication, the two figures should not be added together.
There is no careers office at Liphook.
