44. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons are now registered as unemployed in the London borough of Brent; and what percentage increase has occurred in the last 12 months.

Mr. Jim Lester

At 13 November 1980 there were 7,809 people registered as unemployed in the area covered by the Kilburn, Wembley and Willesden employment offices, which closely corresponds to the London borough of Brent. This was 42.7 per cent. higher than the corresponding figure at 8 November 1979.
