§ Mr. BattleTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many individuals who became unemployed in each year from 1979 to 1994 were previously self-employed with mortgages outstanding on their homes.
§ Mr. OppenheimThe available information from the summer 1994 Labour Force Survey for Great Britain shows that there were 92,000 ILO unemployed people, resident in households buying their accommodation with a mortgage or loan, who reported their employment status in their last job as self-employed. Equivalent figures for summer 1993 and summer 1992 are 121,000 and 114,000 respectively. No comparable figures are available prior to 1992.
