HC Deb 14 May 1963 vol 677 c139W
54. Mr. Randall

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is his intention regarding the subjection of individual localities in the combined Tyneside area to reviews in connection with stop-listing and de-scheduling under the Local Employment Act.

Mr. D. Price

As my right hon. Friend said on 7th May, my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour has decided that the travel-to-work pattern on the combined Tyneside area makes it unrealistic to produce separate unemployment figures for the individual localities. We shall, therefore, consider the combined area as a whole in any review of its position under the Local Employment Act.
