§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Secretary of State for Employment what he estimates to be the number of new jobs for men 219W required in Scotland each year in order to reduce Scottish male unemployment to the present Great Britain percentage by 1975.
§ Mr. Chichester-ClarkThis will depend on how far employment in some Scottish firms and industries declines during this period, on the amount of migration into and out of Scotland and on changes in activity rates. Since these movements cannot be foreseen with any precision, the estimate the hon. Member is asking for would have very little value.
