§ 10. Mr. Clinton Davisasked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the increase in the number of unemployed since 18th June, 1970.
§ Mr. R. CarrBetween June, 1970, and October, 1971, the numbers registered as unemployed in Great Britain including the temporarily stopped and school leavers increased by 339,975. The rise in the seasonally adjusted figures for wholly unemployed was 271,600.
30. Mr. Edward Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the ratio of registered unemployed persons to notified vacancies in Great Britain, Scotland and Glasgow, respectively, at the most recent date for which figures are available.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithAt 11th October, the numbers of notified vacancies remaining unfilled per hundred persons registered as wholly unemployed were 19.4 for Great Britain, 5.8 for Scotland and 5.4 for the Glasgow travel-to-work area. There is no obligation on employers to notify their vacancies to my Department and the figures do not purport to measure the total unsatisfied demand for labour.
