HC Deb 15 March 1965 vol 708 c192W
Mr. Wainwright

asked the Minister of Labour if he will give the percentage of unemployment in the Mexborough and Wombwell employment exchanges at the latest convenient date.

Mr. Marsh

Separate percentage rates of unemployment are not quoted for employment exchanges whose areas form part of a wider travel-to-work area. The percentage rate of unemployment on 8th March for the travel-to-work district which comprises the areas of the Mexborough and Goldthorpe Employment Exchanges was 2.6 per cent and that for the areas covered by the Wombwell, Barnsley, Hoyland, and Royston Employment Exchanges was 1.5 per cent.
