§ Mr. Geoffrey Finsbergasked the Secretary of State for Employment what were the numbers of unemployed registered at employment exchanges covering the Hampstead parliamentary constituency on 1st November, 1970, and 1st November, 1971, and the numbers of vacancies available at these employment exchanges on those dates.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithIn the area covered by the St. Marylebone and Camden Town Employment Exchanges, which includes the Hampstead constituency, at November, 1971 there were 4,320 people registered as unemployed of whom 4,315 were wholly unemployed. At that date 1,529 notified vacancies remained unfilled. At November, 1970 the corresponding figures were 3,768, 3,765 and 2,456.
The vacancy statistics relate only to notified vacancies remaining unfilled and do not purport to measure the total unsatisfied demand for labour.
