§ Mr. Peter Morrison[pursuant to his reply, 14 July 1981]: The following is the information for the age ranges nearest to those specified in the Keighley employment office area at 9 April 1981—latest available:
Age Number Under 18 years 9* 18 to 24 years 938 25 to 34 years 374 35 to 44 years 494 45 years and over 1,023 * The preceding does not include 197 young people registered at the Keighley careers office for whom a separate age analysis is not available. It is likely, however, that most are under 18 years of age.
