HC Deb 15 December 1986 vol 107 c370W
Mr. Tom Clarke

asked the Paymaster General if he will give in percentage terms the latest available figures for unemployment in the Monklands, West constituency; if he will break these figures down between male and female unemployed and long-term unemployed; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Trippier

The information is not available in the form requested because percentage unemployment rates are not calculated for areas smaller than travel-to-work areas. The table shows the numbers of unemployed claimants in the Monklands, West constituency as at 9 October 1986. This information is also in the Library.

Male Female
Unemployed for over one year 1,658 461
Total unemployed 3,498 1,521
