HC Deb 13 February 1984 vol 54 cc27-8W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what travel-to-work areas cover the London borough of Waltham Forest; what is the latest unemployment figure for each such area; and, for any such area which covers part of another local government area, if he will give an approximate estimate for the unemployment within Waltham Forest.

Mr. Alan Clark

Waltham Forest is in the Greater London travel-to-work area. Unemployment figures are available for the jobcentre areas within the travel-to-work area. In the Walthamstow and Leytonstone jobcentre areas, which closely correspond to the London borough of Waltham Forest, there were 11,227 unemployment claimants on 12 January 1984.
