Mr. Sean Hughes
asked the Paymaster General what are the month-by-month unemployment figures for the borough of Knowsley since January 1984.
Mr. Lee
The following information is in the Library. The table gives the number of unemployed claimants in the Knowsley local authority district between January 1984 and February 1987. These figures are affected by the change in the timing of the compilation of unemployment statistics in March 1986.
