§ Mr. MackinlayTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will rename the Southend travel-to-work area as the South Essex travel-to-work area or the Southend/Thurrock travel-to-work area.
§ Miss WiddecombeA review of all travel-to-work areas is currently being undertaken. New boundaries will be drawn using information on commuting patterns from the 1991 census of population special workplace statistics. These are due to be released by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys at the end of November this year. Revised travel-to-work areas, including maps, will be circulated for comment six to nine months after this date. All comments received, regarding boundaries and names, will be considered at this time.
