I propose to take Questions Nos. 105 and 107 together.
The details sought by the Deputy are available only from end-December 1997 and are shown in the following table. They include the total number of persons on the live register adjusted to take account of those people who are not entitled to a payment in respect of a full week's unemployment, namely those signing for credits only; casual workers, those receiving a payment for part of a week and in employment for the remainder, others not entitled to a payment – claims awaiting decision, suspended etc.
Data before the end of December 1997 are limited because statistical data on sub-categories within the live register were not then collected.
