HC Deb 09 July 1985 vol 82 cc417-8W
53. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the total number of school leavers now registered as unemployed in the parliamentary constituency of Brent, South; what is the number previously registered who have found employment during the last six months; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Clark

On 13 June 1985, the number of unemployed claimants in the parliamentary constituency of Brent South who have not had employment since leaving full-time education was 618, of which 112 were aged under 18 years. While figures showing the numbers of people ceasing to be unemployed are compiled, these are not yet available by parliamentary constituencies for the past six months, and the figures do not distinguish those finding jobs.
