§ Mr. McNallyasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether the changes in the method of calculating unemployment levels will enable him to pinpoint unemployment blackspots better than was possible with calculations based on travel-to-work areas.
§ Mr. AlisonAlthough the changed basis for the unemployment figures will allow the actual numbers of unemployed to be compiled for some areas other than employment office areas (or groupings of them), unemployment rates will still be compiled only for travel-to-work areas.
