HC Deb 08 March 1976 vol 907 c127W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the total number of unemployed resident in the South-West Staffordshire Constituency currently notified to his Department.

Mr. John Fraser

Unemployment statistics are compiled for employment office areas but not for parliamentary constituencies. The South-West Staffordshire constituency comprises parts of the areas covered by the Stafford, Wolverhampton, Stourbridge and Dudley employment offices. I regret that no figure can be given that would be representative of the constituency.
