Construction: Industry
Julia Goldsworthy: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what estimate her Department has made of the number of people seeking work in the construction industry at the latest date for which figures are available. [283454]
Angela E. Smith: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking how many people were seeking work in the construction industry at the latest date for which figures are available. (283454)
Unemployment estimates are routinely derived from the Labour Force Survey (LFS); however this source does not hold information on which sectors people are seeking employment in.
As an alternative we have supplied information on the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) based on the stated occupation they are seeking work in. Occupations are classified based on the Standard Occupation Classification 2000 (SOC2000).
Table 1 shows the number of people claiming JSA in May 2009 who were seeking work in a range of construction related occupations.
Employment: East of England
Mr. Vara: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office (1) how many single parents below state pension age with dependent children were (a) employed and (b) unemployed for any period in each constituency in the East of England region in each of the last 10 years; [283421]
(2) how many people aged 16 years and over who were resident in each constituency in the East of England region were unemployed for any period in each of the last 10 years. [283422]
Angela E. Smith: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated July 2009 :
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Questions asking how many people aged 16 years and over who were resident in each constituency in the East of England were unemployed for any period in each of the last 10 years; and how many single parents below state pension age with dependant children were (a) employed and (b) unemployed for any period in each constituency in the East of England in each of the last 10 years. (283422 & 283421)
The required information is not available; the Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles labour market statistics for local areas from the Annual Population Survey (APS), however estimates from this source do not exist at the level of detail requested.
