Mr. Sillars
asked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the percentage increase in United Kingdom unemployment between July 1975 and July 1978.
Mr. Golding
Between July 1975 and July 1978, the numbers registered as unemployed in the United Kingdom increased by 60 per cent.; because of the change of date of school leaving in England and Wales these figures are not directly comparable.
