HC Deb 05 November 1980 vol 991 cc568-9W
Mr. Gregor MacKenzie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the percentage figures for male and female unemployed in the Glasgow travel-to-work area as at June 1979 and similar information for the latest convenient date.

Mr. Younger

The information is set out in the table below.

PERCENTAGE UNEMPLOYED IN GLASGOW TTWA
Males Females Total
14 June 1979 11.1 6.4 9.1
9 October 1980 15.4 9.0 12.6

Mr. Gregor MacKenzie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many men, women and young persons were

Rutherglen Cambuslung
June 1979 October 1980 June 1979 October 1980
Males 2,471 3,741 693 1,061
Females 1,075 1,629 289 477

The following tables gives details of unemployment analysed by age and dura-

Rutherglen Cambuslung
Total Unemployed for more than 6 months Total unemployed Unemployed for more than 6 months
Men 2,809 1,485 915 412
Women 1,253 650 337 125
Young persons (under 18) 329 103 346 13
Note: The analysis by age and duration, unlike the monthly total figures, does not give comprehensive information, since some unemployed young persons from Rutherglen register at Cambuslang careers office, while others register at Glasgow South Side careers office. Adjustments are made to the monthly totals to take this into account. The comparable monthly totals for the 2 areas for July 1980 were Rutherglen 4,198 (3,296 males and 1,622 females) and Cambuslang 1,437 (1,005 males and 432 females.)
