Mr Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many men over 50 years of age are registered as unemployed in the employment areas in the Leek parliamentary constituency.

Mr. John Fraser

Following is the information:

Unemployed men aged 5O and over; July 1975
Employment Office area
Leek 130
Biddulph 94
Cheadle 58
Kidsgrove 129

Mr Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the total number of unskilled persons below the age of 25 years who are registered as unemployed in the Leek parliamentary constituency; what proportion of the total work-force below the age of 25 years in the Leek parliamentary constituency this figure represents; and what is the total number of registered vacancies for unskilled persons below the age of 25 years in the Leek parliamentary constituency.

Mr. John Fraser

On 14th July 1975, in the Leek, Biddulph, Cheadle and Kids-grove employment office areas, 692 unemployed people were aged under 25. I regret that the statistics do not indicate how many of these were unskilled, or the numbers of notified unfilled vacancies suitable for unskilled workers in this age group.
