Mr. Edwin Wainwright
asked the Secretary of State for Employment what were the numbers of males and females, respectively, registered as unemployed at the latest available date, at the Mexborough and Wombwell employment exchanges, and the figures for the previous 12 months.
Mr. John Fraser
The following table shows the numbers unemployed in the area covered by the Mexborough and Wombwell employment offices. Owing to industrial action at local offices of the Employment Service Agency the most recent figures available for local areas relate to the last full count made in November 1974.
