HC Deb 14 March 1963 vol 673 c181W
34. Mr. Small

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is the estimated number of new jobs expected to be provided in the Glasgow group of employment exchange offices in 1962–63; and what percentage of the unemployed in Glasgow will be so provided with jobs.

Mr. Erroll

There are now 3,000 jobs in prospect in the Glasgow Group from new building and other developments known to the Board of Trade. Board of Trade Estimates cover less than half the whole field of civil employment; but the 1,000 jobs expected to arise from projects which should mature by the end of 1963 represent 4.2 per cent. of the average number of wholly unemployed in Glasgow in 1962.
