§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many primary and secondary teachers are currently registered as unemployed in Dundee.
§ Mr. Allan StewartI regret the information requested is not available as the occupational analysis of the unemployed was discontinued following the introduction of voluntary registration on 18 October 1982. At 9 September 1982, the latest date for which information is available, there were 54 secondary teachers and 124 primary teachers registered as unemployed in the Dundee jobcentre area.
§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many notifications of redundancy in Dundee have been made known to his Department since 9 June.
§ Mr. Allan StewartStatistics of redundancies are not available on a comprehensive basis and are compiled monthly but not for any lesser period. Provisional figures from the Manpower Services Commission for June indicate that there were six notifications of redundancies affecting 10 or more workers due to occur in that month in Dundee with an expected loss of 238 jobs.
§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what has been (a) the number unemployed for one year and over in Dundee and (b) the percentage of the total unemployed they comprised in May 1979, January 1981, April 1981, July 1981, October 1981, January 1982, April 1982, July 1982, October 1982, January 1983 and the latest available date.
§ Mr. Allan StewartThe information requested is shown in the table below. It includes figures for April 1979 11W instead of May 1979 as the analysis of age and duration of unemployment is undertaken quarterly each January, April, July and October. The figures up to October 1982 are based on the number of unemployed registrants at jobcentres and careers offices (the old basis of the count); those from October 1982 to April 1983, the latest date for which information is available, are based on the number of unemployed claimants at unemployment benefit offices (the new basis of the count). Figures for October 1982 are included on both bases for purposes of comparison.
