HC Deb 13 December 1971 vol 828 c31W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is his estimate of the number of self-employed persons who had been out of work for at least four weeks on 1st October, 1964, and 1st October, 1971, respectively.

Mr. Dudley Smith

I regret that the information is not available. People who register for work after being self-employed are not identified separately in the unemployment statistics.
