HC Deb 08 February 1973 vol 850 c184W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many unfilled vacancies are registered in the Leek employment area; and what was the comparable figure a year ago.

Mr. Dudley Smith

In the Leek employment exchange area there were 144 on 3rd January 1973 and 99 on 5th January 1972. The figures relat only to notified vacancies remaining unfilled and do not purport to measure the total unsatisfied demand for labour.
