HC Deb 28 April 1986 vol 96 c286W
17. Mr. Barry

Jones asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many people are unemployed in Wales, and in Clwyd, including school leavers; and what percentage increase there has been since May 1979.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

The unadjusted March 1986 unemployment figures for Wales and Clwyd are 184,247 and 24,847 respectively. Unadjusted figures for 1979 were produced on a different basis and cannot properly be compared.
