§ Mr. McAllionasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the seasonally adjusted unemployment figures for Scotland and the Dundee travel-to-work area for the last available date, and figures in May 1979, June 1983 and June 1987, compiled on a similar basis.
§ Mr. LangIn Scotland the labour force survey is conducted by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys and the General Register Office for Scotland on behalf of the Department of Employment and the European Community. The 1986 labour force survey is the most recent of which results are available, but the sample size is too small for reliable estimates to be produced either for Dundee or for the Tayside area.
