asked the Minister for Labour if he will publish in the careers series issued by his Department a leaflet dealing with the occupational guidance and placement services organised by the National Manpower Service.

An informational brochure setting out the services provided by the National Manpower Service, including the Placement and Occupational Guidance Service, is already available and has been widely distributed.

It is proposed, however, to prepare a separate leaflet which will give fuller details of the Occupational Guidance Service and the Placement Service for the information of school-leavers.

When will this information be published?

I hope that it will be published shortly. I have not a date here but I will let the Deputy know.

Will this leaflet be distributed to schools in the normal course of events?

I will make it as easily available as possible to people. If it can be organised through the schools in co-operation with the educational authorities, I would welcome that.
