§ Mr. Michael J. MartinTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the latest unemployment figures for the Glasgow, Springburn constituency; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. LangOn 9 February 1989 there were 6,851 unemployed claimants in the Glasgow, Springburn parliamentary constituency. The constituency has shared in the general improvement in the Scottish unemployment situation with a reduction of over 2,000 in the number of unemployed claimants since the beginning of 1987. By continuing with our successful policies we aim to reduce unemployment even further.
