§ Mrs. Fyfeasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the unemployment levels in Maryhill constituency for the current period and at the same time for each year since 1979, giving separate totals for males, females and school-leavers under 18 years.
§ Mr. LangUnemployment statistics for parliamentary constituencies did not become available until the introduction of electoral ward-based data in June 1983. The numbers of male and female unemployed claimants in the Glasgow, Maryhill constituency, and the equivalent figures for school-leavers under 18 years of age, in June each year from 1983 to 1987, are shown in the table:
582W
All Unemployed Claimants Unemployed School leavers under 18 (included in All Unemployed) Male Female Total Male Female Total 1983 5,382 1,824 7,206 210 190 400 1984 5,359 1,906 7,265 201 169 370 1985 5,755 2,057 7,812 193 150 343 1986 5,882 2,087 7,969 214 188 402 1987 5,773 1,971 7,744 192 145 337 These figures are not comparable because of changes in the basis of the count.
The information is available in the Library.
§ 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. LangOn a comparable basis, seasonally adjusted unemployment in Scotland was 333,600 in June 1987, 308,200 in June 1983 and 150,400 in May 1979. I regret that corresponding figures for the Dundee travel-to-work area cannot be provided since seasonally adjusted unemployment figures are not available below Scotland level.
§ Mr. Gordon Brownasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list for (a) each postal code district and (b) each local authority ward the numbers unemployed in June 1983 and June 1987.
