HC Deb 27 February 1981 vol 999 c466W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many registered disabled persons are registered at employment offices within the London borough of Brent; and what percentage of the unemployed those disabled represent.

Mr. Peter Morrison

On 15 January 1981, the latest date for which information is available, there were 110 registered disabled persons registered as unemployed at employment offices within the London borough of Brent, representing 1.3 per cent. of the total number of unemployed people.

Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many young people within the area of the London borough of Brent are (a) registered at careers centres, (b) engaged in youth opportunities schemes and (c) seeking full-time employment.

Mr. Peter Morrison

At 15 January the number of young people registered as unemployed at the Wembley and Willesden careers offices was 475. The statistics do not distinguish between those seeking full-time and part-time employment. Information about the numbers of young people currently engaged in youth opportunities schemes in the London borough of Brent is not readily available and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
