HC Deb 11 February 1969 vol 777 cc296-7W
Mr. Fred Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what are the latest figures of unemployed men and women in the employment exchange areas of Pontlottyn, Bargoed, Blackwood, Caerphilly and Senghenydd.

Mr. Fernyhough

The following is the information:

stood to be £5,004. The breakdown of expenditure to the nearest £ is as follows:

£
1. Administrator's travel, hotel and other expenses 749
2. Preparation of polling stations and counting hall 1,938
3. Advertising, printing and stationery 984
4. Honoraria to polling, counting and registry staff 1,078
5. Production of newsreel 195
6. Cost of medical certificates for sick and aged persons whose votes were recorded at home by visiting presiding officers 60
Total 5,004

The difference between this total and that of £4,808 given in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Aberdeen, South on 29th January arises from item 5 above, the bill for which has only recently been received in Gibraltar. The total does not include the cost of the Commonwealth Observers at the referendum, which was borne by Her Majesty's Government.—[Vol. 776, c. 347.]
