§ Mr. McAllionasked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the total number of job vacancies in (a) Dundee, East and (b) Dundee travel-to-work-area, for the latest available date.
§ Mr. Lang[pursuant to the reply, 26 October 1987, c33.]: I have been asked to reply.
Vacancy statistics are not available on a parliamentary constituency or travel-to-work area basis. However, the number of vacancies notified in the Dundee jobcentre area and remaining unfilled on 4 September 1987 was 579 (including 84) community programme vacancies). It is estimated that only around one third of all vacancies nationally are notified to jobcentres.
