HC Deb 21 January 1971 vol 809 c322W
58. Mr. Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give the number of males, females, boys and girls registered in employment, and also unemployed, at the Mexborough and Wombwell employment exchanges, for the years 1950, 1960, and at the latest available date.

Mr. Bryan

Following is the information:

an increase of 41 per cent. over the previous year. This included 165 from trade unions, 45 from employers and 16 joint requests. Conciliation action was taken in all but 33 cases concerning disputes over pay, where it was considered inappropriate for the Department's services to be used in view of the level of the claim and/or offer.
