§ Mr. ParryTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what position the Liverpool, Riverside constituency held in the list of constituencies of official unemployment on a monthly basis from 1979 to the latest available date; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. JacksonFor areas with different sized workforces, such as parliamentary constituencies, the only meaningful comparisons are based on unemployment rates. These are not available at the level of parliamentary constituencies. However, information relating to the numbers unemployed in the Liverpool, Riverside parliamentary constituency, can be obtained from the NOMIS database in the Library and is available from June 1983.
