HC Deb 01 May 1984 vol 59 cc66-89W
22. Mr. Holt

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will estimate the increase in the number of people at work in the United Kingdom in 1983.

Mr. Alan Clark

Between December 1982 and December 1983, the employed labour force in the United Kingdom increased by an estimated 144,000.

24. Mr. Blair

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many people have been out of work for over a year at the latest available date; and how many of them are over 50 years of age.

Mr. Alan Clark

On 12 January, the latest date for which the statistics are available, 1,188,014 unemployed claimants in the United Kingdom had been unemployed for over 52 weeks. Of these, 278,249 were aged 50 years and over.

27. Mr. Geoffrey Robinson

unemployed people registered at jobcentres in the constituency of Coventry, North-West, broken down by age, sex, and duration of unemployment and what are the comparable figures for March 1983.

Mr. Alan Clark

As the reply contains a number of figures I will, with permission, circulate the reply in theOfficial Report.

Following is the information.

The following tables give the information for unemployed claimants in the Coventry jobcentre area, which is larger than the constituency, in April 1983 (not available for March) and January 1984, the latest date for which the quarterly statistics by age and duration of unemployment are available. The comparison between the two dates for males aged 60 and over is affected by the provisions announced in the 1983 Budget, which meant that some men aged 60 and over no longer had to sign on in order to receive supplementary benefit or National Insurance credits.

30. Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the latest figures for unemployment, both nationally and regionally; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Clark

On 5 April, the number of unemployed claimants in the United Kingdom was 3,107,682. This figure and the corresponding regional figures were published in the unemployment press notice issued by the Department on 27 April, a copy of which is in the Library.

32. Mr. Jim Callaghan

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the latest figures for unemployment in the United Kingdom.

36. Mr. McTaggart

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the total number of unemployed people in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Alan Clark

On 5 April, the number of unemployed claimants in the United Kingdom was 3,107,682.

45. Mr. Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many people aged between 50 and 60 years have been unemployed for more than (a) one year, (b) two years and (c) three years, respectively.

Mr. Alan Clark

The following table gives the numbers of unemployed claimants aged 50 to 59 years in the United Kingdom who, on 12 January, the latest date for which the statistics are available, had been unemployed for the lengths of time specified.

Duration in weeks Number
Over 52 and up to 104 weeks 99,416
Over 104 and up to 156 weeks 60,771
Over 156 weeks 94,953

Sir David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the latest figures for the number of unemployed and the number of registered vacancies in the Southampton travel-to-work area; and how they compare with similar figures for 1983 and 1982, respectively.

Mr. Alan Clark

Table 1 gives the number registered as unemployed in April 1982 and the numbers of unemployed claimants in April 1983 and April 1984 in the Southampton travel-to-work area. It also gives the figures on both bases for October 1982.

Table 2 gives the numbers of notified vacancies remaining unfilled at jobcentres and careers offices in the Southampton travel-to-work area in April each year from 1982.

Table 1 Unemployed
Number
Registered unemployed
April 1982 19,573
October 1982 21,596
Unemployed claimants
October 1982 19,612
April 1983 20,194
April 1984 20,166

The comparisons are affected by the change in the basis of the unemployment count in October 1982 and by the 1983 Budget provisions which meant that some men aged 60 and over no longer had to sign on in order to receive supplementary benefit or national insurance credits. The effect of the Budget provisions nationally was about one half of 1 per cent., estimates of the effect at local level are not available.

Table 2 Notified unfilled vacancies
April At jobcentres At careers offices
1982 863 21
1983 1,025 58
1984 1,253 56

Vacancies notified to jobcentres are estimated to be about one third of all vacancies in the country as a whole. Because of possible duplication, the figures for jobcentres and careers offices should not be added together. The number of vacancies unfilled at a particular date takes no account of the flow of vacancies being notified, filled or withdrawn, which would reflect activity more closely. For example, during the 12-month period to December 1983, the number of people placed in jobs by jobcentres in the

Southampton travel-to-work area was 11,468. It is estimated that, nationally, the public employment service accounts for about one in four of all placings.

Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, pursuant to his reply of 17 February, Official Report, columns 339–40, if he will give a breakdown of those registered unemployed by sex, age and duration of unemployment in the following jobcentre areas: Bermondsey, Borough, Brixton, Camberwell, Deptford, Greenwich, Lewisham, Stockwell and West Norwood.

Mr. Alan Clark

[pursuant to his reply, 25 April 1984, c. 557]: The following tables give the figures for registered unemployed in April 1979 (not available for May) and the figures for unemployed claimants in January 1984. The comparisons between the two dates are affected by the change in the basis of the unemployment count in October 1982 and by the 1983 Budget provisions which meant that some men aged 60 and over no longer had to sign on in order to receive supplementary benefit or national insurance credits.
