HC Deb 14 April 1975 vol 890 c14W
Mr. Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons are registered as unemployed in the East Anglian region; and how many job vacancies remain unfilled.

Mr. John Fraser

At March 1975, 20,778 people were unemployed in East Anglia. The numbers of notified vacancies remaining unfilled were 5,571 at employment offices and 1,570 at careers offices. The vacancy statistics relate only to vacancies notified to employment offices and careers offices and are not a measure of total vacancies.
