§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the number unemployed by order of the standard industrial classification and the number of vacancies in each of the employment offices in West Glamorgan for the latest available date.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsInformation is not readily available in the precise form requested and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. However, information for West Glamorgan as a whole is set out below and relates to November 1980. The vacancy figures relate only to those notified to employment offices and careers offices and understate the level of total demand in the economy. Duplication between the separate figures for employment offices and careers offices mean that the two figures cannot be added together.
