HC Deb 10 December 1971 vol 827 c402W
Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the number and percentage of unemployed persons in Great Britain who, in his estimate, are unemployed due to disruption and destruction in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Bryan

No such estimate has been made.

Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, of the total number unemployed, what number and percentage, in his estimate, is due to an unwillingness to take on new opportunities in either different skills and activities, or different regional and employment areas, and in these instances where alternative opportunities offer a lower rate of remuneration, respectively, and in total.

Mr. Bryan

I regret that it is not possible to make any meaningful estimates on the lines requested.
