HC Deb 19 April 1983 vol 41 c67W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he has abandoned his plans to keep ethnic records of claimants for unemployment benefit.

Mr. Gummer

[pursuant to his reply, 18 April 1983, c. 35]: No. New arrangements for assessing the ethnic origin of unemployed people, including proposals to collect these statistics at unemployment benefit offices, are still under consideration.
