HC Deb 14 February 1966 vol 724 c165W
76. Mr. Wainwright

asked the Minister of Labour if he will give the percentage of unemployed men and women in the Mexborough and Wombwell employment exchange areas, respectively, on the latest available date.

Mr. Thornton

Percentage rates of unemployment are available only for travel-to-work areas. For the combined area of Mexborough and Goldthorpe, the percentage rate at 10th January, 1966, was 2.2 for males and 3.5 for females. For the combined area of Barnsley, Hoy-land, Royston and Wombwell, the percentage rate at that date was 1.6 for males and 1.2 for females.
