HC Deb 31 July 1978 vol 955 cc89-90W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the estimated increase or decrease over the last three months in the percentage of young men and young women registered as unemployed in the Birmingham district council area; and what were the corresponding percentage increases or decreases for the same period in the previous year.

Mr. Golding

As the age analysis of the numbers registered as unemployed is at present made only in January and July each year, I regret that this information is not available.

Mr. Berry

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the latest figures for the numbers of persons unemployed in each of the 32 London boroughs; and what are the figures for a similar date in the years 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1977.

Mr. Golding

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
