Mr. Parry
asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the current level of unemployment amongst Liverpool seamen; and what is the level nationally.
Mr. Alison
At 9 September, the number of unemployed people registered at employment offices in Liverpool for employment as seamen was 160. The corresponding number for the United Kingdom was 2,944. The figures include deck and engine-room hands (sea-going) and ships' masters, pilots and deck, engineer and radio officers.
