HC Deb 17 May 1982 vol 24 cc29-30W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will evaluate the product-moment correlation coefficient and its level of significance between (a) the average annual number of males out of work for one year or more and (b) the total number of prescriptions for anti-depressants, sedatives and tranquillisers in Scotland in the latest 10 year period for which figures are available.

Mr. John MacKay

Such an exercise would serve no useful purpose.
