HC Deb 15 February 1980 vol 978 cc848-9W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the number and percentage unemployment rate of disabled registered in Dundee; and what is that rate expressed as a percentage of Dundee's percentage unemployment rate.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

On 10 January 1980, 293 registered disabled people were also registered as unemployed in the Dundee employment office area—11.4 per cent. of the total number of registered disabled people in the area at April 1979 and 3.1 per cent. of the total number of people registered as unemployed in Dundee on 10 January 1980.
