HC Deb 24 March 1964 vol 692 cc71-3W
Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Labour (1) what was the number of persons in civil employment in Falmouth and Camborne-Redruth, respectively at the latest convenient date and in each of the previous 12 years;

(2) how many persons were registered as unemployed at Falmouth and

as unemployed at the Airdrie, Coat-bridge, Wishaw, Shotts and Springburn, Glasgow, employment exchanges for periods of eight to 25 weeks, for 26 to 51 weeks, and over 52 weeks, giving separate figures for each exchange and for men, women, boys and girls.

Mr. Whitelaw

The following tables contain an analysis of unemployment by duration of the number wholly unemployed on 13th January, the latest date for which such an analysis is available, for periods as near as possible to those asked for. Analyses by duration of unemployment for young persons are made only for the areas covered by Youth Employment Offices. As these do not coincide with the areas of the Employment Exchanges in question this information has been set out separately.

Camborne-Redruth, respectively, at each monthly count since November last; and what percentages these were of the number of insured persons;

(3) how many males and females, respectively, were recorded as insured persons at Falmouth and Camborne-Redruth, separately, at mid-May in 1961, 1962, and 1963.

Mr. Whitelaw
