HC Deb 07 March 1978 vol 945 c565W
Mr. George Rodgers

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the percentage unemployment figure according to the most recent available information in (a) the Chorley travel-to-work area, (b) the Leyland travel-to-work area, and (c) the North-Western Region.

Mr. Golding

At 9th February, the unemployment rates for the Preston travel-to-work area, which includes Chorley and Leyland, and the North-West Region were 5.3 per cent, and 7.5 per cent., respectively. Rates can. be calculated only for the whole of a travel-to-work area and not separately for its constituent parts.
