§ 70. Mr. Dormandasked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the number of unemployed men and women, respectively, in the Easington Constituency, at the last convenient date; and how many of those have been unemployed for more than three years.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithAt 9th November, 1970, 1,417 men, 117 women and 133 boys and girls were registered as unemployed in the area covered by the Peter-lee and Wingate Employment Exchanges, which approximates broadly to the Easington constituency. The statistics do not distinguish those unemployed for more than three years but at 12th October this year, when 1,345 men and 132 women were registered as wholly unemployed, 399 men and 6 women, had been on the registers for more than 52 weeks.
