HC Deb 17 March 1982 vol 20 c118W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many workers are now unemployed in the construction, bricks, glass, timber and furniture industries, respectively; how this compares with the figures two years ago; and what are the percentages of the total in each category of workers.

Mr. Alison

The following table gives the information at August 1979 and August 1981, the latest date for which an industrial analysis of the numbers unemployed is available. The figures relate to the industry in which the unemployed persons last worked.

A further industrial analysis of the unemployed will be made in May 1982.
