HC Deb 17 March 1969 vol 780 c35
46. Mr. David Watkins

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what is the unemployment rate for men at Stanley, County Durham, Employment Exchange.

The Under-Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity (Mr. E. Fernyhough)

At 10th March, 1969 the provisional unemployment rate for males for the Consett, Lanchester and Stanley travel-to-work area was 7.5.

Mr. Watkins

I thank my hon. Friend for that Answer. Can he break the figures down and give me a specific figure, as requested in the Question, for the Stanley Employment Exchange?

Mr. Fernyhough

I cannot give my hon. Friend the percentage rate. I can give him the totals of unemployed, but for travel-to-work areas we do not have a breakdown such as he has requested. I can let him have a breakdown of the registered unemployed without giving a percentage figure.
