§ 23. Mr. Ron BrownTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has plans to meet the Scottish Trades Union Congress to discuss unemployment in Scotland; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. LangI have no plans to do so in the near future. I am delighted to say that seasonally adjusted unemployment in Scotland fell byover 42,000 between January 1987 and January 1988 and is now at its lowest level since April 1983.
