HC Deb 20 April 1972 vol 835 cc139-40W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the current totals of youth employment in the employment areas in the Leek parliamentary constituency.

Mr. Dudley Smith

I regret that the information is not available. Employment estimates for local areas are not available for young persons separately.

Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many unfilled vacancies are registered in each of the employment areas in the Leek parliamentary constituency.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Following is the information:

NUMBERS OF NOTIFIED VACANCIES REMAINING UNFILLED IN THE LEEK, CHEADLE, BIDDULPH AND KIDSGROVE EMPLOYMENT AREAS AT 8TH MARCH, 1972
Males Females Total
Leek … 32 91 123
Cheadle … 17 19 36
Biddulph … 13 7 20
Kidsgrove … 16 30 46

The statistics relate only to notified vacancies remaining unfilled and do not purport to measure the total unsatisfied demand for labour.
