HC Deb 13 November 1987 vol 122 cc351-2W
Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many people resident in Milford Haven are claiming unemployment benefit; and what percentage of the total labour force this represents.

Mr. Peter Walker

I have been asked to reply. At 8 October 1987, there were 723 unemployed claimants in wards 6, 7 and 8 of the Preseli district (which have been used as an approximation for Milford Haven). Rates of unemployment are not calculated at this level.
