HC Deb 21 February 1968 vol 759 cc146-7W
Mr. John Page

asked the Minister of Labour how many vacancies were unfilled at the latest available date in the Greater London area and the Woolwich employment exchange area, respectively, for which the categories of operatives, skilled and unskilled, at present employed at the General Electric Company factory in Woolwich are required; and how many people classified as possessing these skills are at present unemployed in Greater London and in Woolwich, respectively.

Mr. Fernyhough

The total number of notified vacancies unfilled on 7th February 1968 was as follows:

Men Women
Greater London 14,931 20,931
Woolwich Employment Exchange 130 135

No occupational breakdown of these figures is available. It would not in any case be possible to relate them, or the currently registered unemployed, to the occupations of workers at G.E.C./A.E.I. at Woolwich who have not yet received notice nor been interviewed and registered.
