HC Deb 18 November 1959 vol 613 c127W
51. Mr. Marquand

asked the Minister of Labour how many men and women were registered at the Middlesbrough exchange at the latest date for which the information is available; and what percentage of insured workers these numbers represent.

Mr. Heath

At 12th October, there were 1,810 men and boys and 919 women and girls registered as unemployed at employment exchanges and youth employment offices in Middlesbrough and South Bank. A percentage rate of unemployment cannot be computed for Middlesbrough alone, but in the Tee-side area the percentage rates were 2.4 and 3.6.
