The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated July 2009:"As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking how many and what proportion of jobseeker's allowance claimants were from each ethnic minority in each of the last 24 months.(287340)""The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles the number of claimants of Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) from the Jobcentre Plus administrative system. The ethnicity of claimants is not available for the United Kingdom and has been provided for Great Britain. Ethnicity is also not available for non-computerised claims.""Tables la-c show the number of computerised claims of Jobseeker's Allowance for each recorded ethnic group for each of the last 24 months. Tables 2a-c show the proportion of all computerised claims by each ethnic group for the same time periods.""National and local area estimates for many labour market statistics, including employment, unemployment and claimant count are available on the NOMIS website at:""http://www.nomisweb.co.uk"<Table width="100%" summary="" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" border="0"><thead><tr><th>Table 1a: Number of persons claiming jobseeker's allowance by ethnicity</th></tr></thead><TR><TD>Great Britain</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD>Total</TD><TD>White -
