Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what has been the percentage increase in unemployment in the Keighley travel-to-work area since May 1979 to the most recent practicable date.

[pursuant to his reply, 13 July 1981]: Between May 1979 and June 1981 the numbers registered as unemployed in the Keighley employment office area increased by 182.7 per cent. The numbers on which the increase is based include school leavers and are not adjusted for seasonal variations.
