HC Deb 10 May 1973 vol 856 cc156-7W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many unfilled vacancies at present exist in the employment areas of Cardiganshire; and how this compares with the figure a year ago.

Mr. Dudley Smith

There were 245 on 4th April 1973 and 157 on 5th April 1972. The statistics relate only to notified vacancies remaining unfilled and do not measure the total unsatisfied demand for labour.

Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many unfilled vacancies are registered in the Biddulph employment area; and what was the comparable figure a year ago.

Mr. Dudley Smith

In the Biddulph employment exchange area, there were 56 on 4th April 1973 and 21 on 5th April 1972. The statistics relate only to notified vacancies remaining unfilled and do not measure the total unsatisfied demand for labour.
