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 jobseeker's allowance claimants aged (a) 18 to 21 and (b) 22 to 24 years old in each Jobcentre Plus district have been unemployed for up to (i) six months and (ii) 12 months. (288705)""The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles the number of claimants of Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) from the Jobcentre Plus administrative system. The duration of claims is not available for 18 to 21 year olds or 22 to 24 year olds. As an alternative table 1 shows the number of JSA claimants aged 18 to 19 and 20 to 24 who have claimed for up to 26 weeks and more than 26 up to 52 weeks.""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"
