§ 33. Mr. Leslie Huckfieldasked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the percentage of those wholly unemployed and temporarily stopped in the Coventry and Nuneaton areas for the latest convenient date; and how these compare with each of the years 1964 to 1970.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithThe rate of unemployment for those who were wholly unemployed in October, 1971, in the Coventry travel-to-work area, which includes Nuneaton, was 4.4 per cent. The rate of unemployment for all those registered, including an abnormally large number of temporarily stopped workers, was 11.3 per cent.
