HC Deb 02 February 1978 vol 943 c256W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish the latest figures available showing the unemployed according to whether they are single, married, and with one, two, three, four or more dependent children.

Mr. Orme

The information, which is available only in respect of men in receipt of benefits at separate dates, is set out in the following table. Small differences between the figures given and those contained in my hon. Friend's reply to the hon. Member on 18th January—[Vol. 942, c.267–8]—are due to rounding.

ber 1977—[Vol. 938, c. 281]—the five area health authorities in England which have at present decided against fluoridation are Barnsley, East Sussex, North Tyneside, Isle of Wight and Wirral. The other 85 authorities are in favour.
