HC Deb 02 May 1966 vol 727 c69W
Mr. MacArthur

asked the Minister of Labour how many insured employees were in employment in Perth in mid-1965; and what were the equivalent figures for each of the years 1960 to 1964.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

At mid-1965 there were estimated to be 27,200 employees in employment in the Perth Employment Exchange area.

Corresponding figures for the mid-years 1962 to 1964 were:

1962 28,200
1963 27,800
1964 27,500

Owing to a change in the method of estimation, completely comparable figures for 1960 and 1961 are not available for local areas.
