asked the Paymaster General what is the average rate of unemployment in each of the intermediate areas and development areas, giving the figures for male and female unemployment.
The following information is in the Library. The tables show the numbers of unemployed claimants at 8 January 1987, expressed as a percentage of employees in employment plus the unemployed, in the travel-to-work areas of Great Britain which have assisted area status.A rate is not calculated for the Manchester assisted area since it is only part of the travel-to-work area.

asked the Paymaster General what is the number of unemployed per vacancy in each of the intermediate and development areas in the United Kingdom.
The following information is available in the Library. The table shows the number of unemployed claimants on 8 January 1987 in each travel-to-work area which has intermediate or development area status, together with the jobcentres and careers offices which cover areas most nearly corresponding to the travel-to-work areas, and the numbers of unfilled vacancies at jobcentres on 9 January 1987 and at careers offices on 8 January 1987. Figures for vacancies at jobcentres and careers offices cannot be added together because some vacancies are notified to both offices. Because of the differences in the areas covered by the unemployment and vacancy figures, accurate ratios of unemployed to vacancies cannot be calculated.
