Mr. Gordon Brown

(2) if he will publish the revised national and regional unemployment rates for each month since June 1983, based on his updated employment figures contained in the 1984 census of employment.

Mr. Lee

[pursuant to his reply, 9 April 1987]: Revised unemployment rates incorporating employment estimates which take account of the 1984 census of employment results will be published within the next two months. At that time revised national and regional rates will be available in the Library.
