The Council was asked to examine and report upon the following matters:

1. (a) The probable changes, in the next five years, in the supply and distribution of juveniles available for employment from different types of schools, and the possible effect of those changes on recruitment for industry and commerce; and
2. (b) The nature and extent of "blind-alley" employment.

My right hon. Friend is satisfied that with these terms of reference the Council will be able to investigate fully the whole question of blind-alley employment, and the answer to the third part of the question is, therefore, in the negative.
