§ Mr. Cryerasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many (a) school leavers, (b) people unemployed for more than 12 months, (c) more than six months and (d) more than three months are on the unemployment register for the Keighley travel-to-work area.
§ Mr. Jim Lester[pursuant to his reply, 3 July 1980, c. 635]: Duration analyses of the unemployed are made quarterly and the latest are for 10 April. At that date the numbers unemployed in the Keighley employment office area included 299 people who had been registered for over 13 and up to 26 weeks, 314 for over 26 and up to 52 weeks and 305 for over 52 weeks.
Separate figures for school-leavers in Keighley are not available; they are included in those for the Bradford careers office.
