Mr. N. Macpherson

As my right hon. Friend explained in answer to Questions by the hon. Member for Durham (Mr. Grey) and other hon. Members on 14th December last, figures for jobs in prospect cannot be given by constituencies because the employment exchange area is the administrative unit on which our information is based. These exchange areas correspond as far as possible with the local pattern of travel-to-work, whereas constituency boundaries in many cases cut across travel-to-work areas. I cannot, therefore, give the information in the form asked for by hon. Members, but am circulating a statement giving the information classified by employment exchange areas or groups of areas.

The jobs in prospect for an area are the aggregate of their labour requirements provided by the firms who have been granted I.C.C.s or have been offered assistance under the Local Employment Act. The date by which the jobs will accrue depends on the rate at which the individual firms concerned proceed with their developments. It is not possible, therefore, to estimate how many of the jobs will be available by 31st December, 1962. Nor is it possible to say how many jobs in prospect are for juveniles.

As regards the industries in which these jobs will accrue, I would refer Members to the Answer given to the hon. Member for Chester-le-Street (Mr. Pentland) on 28th May. I cannot analyse this information in more detail without the risk of disclosing confidential information.
