HC Deb 01 December 1981 vol 14 c80W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Employment (1) if he will estimate the number of mothers in the South-West region who, following the birth of their child, register as unemployed in order to qualify for benefit;

(2) if he will estimate the number of occupational pensioners such as teachers, civil servants and local government employees who retire at 60 to 64 years and who register as unemployed in the South-West region;

(3) how many men who are legally separated from their families or divorced are registered as unemployed in the South-West region;

(4) how many men and women have moved into the South-West from other areas and registered as unemployed in the last year.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The information is not available. It is not possible to distinguish from records held at employment offices, on which the unemployment figures are based, the particular characteristics requested by my hon. Friend.
