HC Deb 26 November 1970 vol 807 cc193-4W
57. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give, for the latest available date, the percentages of unemployed registered at the Mexborough and Wombwell employment exchanges.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Percentage rates of unemployment can be calculated whole travel-to-work areas, but not separately for their constituent parts. At 9th November, 1970, the provisional percentage rates of unemployment for the Mexborough and Goldthorpe and for the Barnsley, Hoyland, Royston and Wombwell travel-to-work areas were 4.9 and 4.8 respectively.
