§ Mr. Proctorasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give the total number of registered unemployed claimants, divided by age group and sex, at the Brixton unemployment benefits office for February 1981, April 1981 and the latest available date; and in each case what was the number of claimants from the ethnic minorities.
§ Mr. Peter Morrison[pursuant to his reply, 6 July 1981, c. 40]: The precise information is not available. The analyses by age and by ethnic origin of the numbers registered as unemployed do not separately distinguish claimants from non-claimants. The following is the available information for the Brixton employment office area.
