HC Deb 27 January 1982 vol 16 c362W
Mr. Foster

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many redundancies have been declared in each Northern region county and travel-to-work area, quarterly, since May 1979.

Mr. Waddington

The information requested is not readily available. Statistics of redundancies reported to the Manpower Services Commission as due to occur are not maintained centrally for areas below regional level; and the analysis requested could only be provided by the northern regional manpower intelligence unit at disproportionate cost.
