§ Mr. Gordon Brownasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the numbers unemployed in each postal code district.
§ Mr. Allan StewartThe old postcode sector system of providing unemployment statistics for small areas was discontinued in September 1985. Although such information is still held for specialist use, as described in theEmployment Gazette of July 1985, it could be made available in this instance only at disproportionate cost.
Information on the number of unemployed claimants by individual electoral ward can be obtained from the House of Commons Library.
