Mr. Home Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many unemployed people were taken on for duties connected with the district council elections and the European elections in East Lothian and Scotland, respectively.

Mr. Ancram

My right hon. Friend is informed by the returning officer for East Lothian district that 120 persons were employed for duties connected with the district council elections and 166 for the European Assembly elections, all of whom were in other employment. The relevant information for Scotland as a whole is not readily available.
