Mr. Robert Atkins
asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the current rate of unemployment in the Preston travel-to-work area.
Mr. Jim Lester
As I told my hon. Friend on 22 April—[Vol 983, c. 202]—at 10 April the rate of unemployment in the Preston travel-to-work area was 68 per cent. The May figures are not yet available. I shall write to my hon. Friend as soon as they are.
