HC Deb 02 July 1973 vol 859 cc30-1W
48. Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what proportion of notified unfilled vacancies are in trades connected with the building and construction industry.

Mr. Dudley Smith

On 6th June 1973, 7.8 per cent. of all notified unfilled vacancies in Great Britain were in the construction industry. Statistics of notified vacancies remaining unfilled do not measure the total unsatisfied demand for labour.
