Youth Employment Service

43.

Mr. Malcolm MacPherson
asked the Secretary of State for War what liaison he maintains with the Youth Employment Service.

Mr. Head
The Army's school liaison officers and chief recruiting officers at command headquarters and recruiting officers locally keep in touch with the Youth Employment Service.

Mr. MacPherson
Does not the right hon. Gentleman agree that because of the large number of young men he gets into the Army, both for National Service and as Regulars, the closer liaison he maintains with the Youth Employment Service the better?

Mr. Head
Yes, Sir.
