Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many people in Dundee are currently registered with the professional and executive register; and how this compares with one year ago, distinguishing in each case those who are unemployed.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

At end-December 1979 224 unemployed and 67 employed people in Dundee were registered with professional and executive recruitment (PER). At the same time in the previous year, 166 unemployed people in Dundee were registered with PER. Information about the number of employed registrants in Dundee at end-December 1978 is not available.
