§ 46. Mr. David Watkinsasked 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. WatkinsI 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. FernyhoughI 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.
