HC Deb 13 December 1971 vol 828 cc27-8W
Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the number of registered vacancies in the Easington constituency at the latest available date.

Mr. Dudley Smith

At 4th November, 148 notified vacancies remained unfilled in the area covered by the Peterlee and Wingate employment exchanges. As there is no obligation on employers to notify their vacancies to my Department, this figure does not purport to measure the total unsatisfied demand for labour in the area.
