HC Deb 25 July 1978 vol 954 cc643-4W
Mr. Maurice Macmillan

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is his estimate of the number of people available for and seeking employment, but who are not registered as unemployed; and whether this figure can be broken down into sexes.

Mr. Golding

The latest estimates of the numbers of people seeking employment but not registered as unemployed were published in the June 1977 issue of the Department of Employment Gazette. This gives, for mid-1976, estimates of 50,000 males and 175,000 females.
