HC Deb 23 May 1986 vol 98 c362W
Mr. Hickmet

asked the Paymaster General which constituency in Great Britain has reduced its unemployment level the most in absolute terms between April 1984 and April 1986; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lang

The following information is in the Library. Between April 1984 and April 1986 the number of unemployed claimants in the Glanford and Scunthorpe parliamentary constituency fell by 568. This comparison is marginally affected by the change in the method of compilation of unemployment statistics in March 1986.
