HC Deb 24 November 1971 vol 826 cc403-4W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the number of registered redundancies in each region of the United Kingdom during the period from 18th June, 1970.

Mr. Dudley Smith

I regret that information is not available in the form required. However, the numbers of redundancies recorded by my Department as due to occur in each region of Great Britain during the period 1st June, 1970, to 31st October, 1971, are:

Number of redundancies
Northern 27,600
Yorkshire and Humberside 41,800
Eastern and Southern 57,900
London and South Eastern 62,700
South Western 16,900
Wales 17,400
Midland 60,500
North Western 70,400
Scotland 59,100

These figures are subject to amendment on account of belated reports of redundancies.
