Mr. Graham Stuart: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many people in Beverley and Holderness were unemployed for more than two years in each year since 1997. [40040]
John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 10 January 2006:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about unemployment in Beverley and Holderness. (40040)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles statistics of unemployment from the Labour Force Survey following International Labour Organisation definitions. However for the Beverley and Holderness constituency sample numbers are insufficient to provide estimates of numbers of people unemployed for more than two years.
ONS also compiles statistics for local areas of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA). Table 1, attached, shows the annual average (January to December) number of JSA claimants, who have been claiming for more than two years, in the Beverley and Holderness constituency, for each year from 1997 to the present.
The claimant count data are published on the Office for National Statistics' Nomis website: www.nomisweb.co.uk

Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 10 January 2006:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about economic inactivity in Beverley and Holderness. (40041)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles statistics of economic inactivity from the Labour Force Survey following International Labour Organisation definitions. Table 1, attached below, shows the numbers of inactive people of working age resident in the Beverley and Holderness constituency. The table also shows the number of inactive people of working age as a percentage of the total working age population resident in the constituency. The data shown cover the 12 month periods ending in February each year from 1997 to 2004 and in March 2005.
These estimates, as with any from sample surveys, are subject to a margin of uncertainty. Changes in the estimates from year to year should be treated with particular caution.
These data are published on the Office for National Statistics' Nomis(r) website: www.nomisweb.co.uk.
