HC Deb 21 January 1972 vol 829 c282W
Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many men have been made redundant in the Hartlepool exchange district since June, 1970; how many vacancies are registered; and what proportion of the totally unemployed has been out of work for six months and more.

Mr. Bryan

Our records, which are not comprehensive, show that redundancies involving 1,250 males were due to occur in the Hartlepool and Hartlepool Headland travel-to-work area in the period 1st July, 1970, to 31st December, 1971. Provisional figures for January, 1972, show 27 notified vacancies for males unfilled in the travel-to-work area; 37.2 per cent. of the males wholly unemployed had been registered as unemployed for six months or more.
