How can the hon. Gentleman say that the figures are reasonably good when he compares what has obtained in my constituency over the last six months with what obtains in respect of national employment? In my constituency the rate of unemployment among boys and girls is considerably higher than the national average. We want to see our boys and girls given the same facilities as those which boys and girls in other parts of the country are enjoying.
