§ Mr. Hall-Davisasked the Minister of Labour what was the percentage of wholly unemployed registered in March 1967 in the areas of Carlisle, Morecambe, Skelmersdale, Lancaster and Huyton, Lancashire, respectively.
§ Mr. FernyhoughSeparate percentage rates of unemployment can be calculated for Morecambe and Lancaster but not for (1) Carlisle, which forms part of Carlisle and Brampton "travel to work" area, (2) Skelmersdale, which is part of Ormskirk Employment Exchange area, and (3) Huyton, which is included in the Liverpool and district "travel to work" area. Percentage rates can be calculated for the whole of these "travel to work" areas but not for the constituent parts.
Following is the information:
