HC Deb 29 April 1986 vol 96 c369W
Mr. Michael Forsyth

asked the Paymaster General whether he is satisfied with the accuracy of the returns submitted by Central regional council for calculating the level of unemployment in the Stirling constituency.

Mr. Lang

[pursuant to his reply, 28 April 1986]: No. Unemployment rates for travel-to-work areas are based on figures from the census of employment. Figures given by the Central regional council for the 1981 census did not provide the appropriate address information for my officials to classify employees to the correct travel-to-work areas.
