HC Deb 03 May 1977 vol 931 c168W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the number of vacancies currently unfilled in employment exchange areas covering the constituency of Rother Valley; and, of these, what is the number involving skilled work.

Mr. Golding

In the area covered by the Dinnington, Maltby and Rotherham employment offices the number of notified vacancies remaining unfilled at 6th April were 287 at employment offices and 40 at careers offices. The figures relate only to notified vacancies and are not a measure of total vacancies. Because of possible duplication, the two figures should not be added together. The Department's vacancy statistics do not provide comprehensive occupational analyses on a skill basis.
