§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Paymaster General how many people have been unemployed for more than one, two and three years, respectively, in each year since 1979 in Walthamstow, Kemptown (Brighton) and Leicester, East.
§ Mr. LangThe following information is in the Library. The table gives figures for 10 April 1986, the latest date for which an analysis of unemployment by duration is available and for April 1984 and April 1985.

Statistics of unemployment for parliamentary constituencies are derived from the new ward-based system and are available only from June 1983.
