Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated May 2012
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question how many private sector jobs were created in Hyndburn constituency between (a) May 2005 and May 2009 and (b) June 2009 and May 2012. (107658)
Estimates of new jobs created are not available. Whilst information is available for net changes in level, it partially reflects jobs lost, partially reflects people who have been recruited into existing jobs that were vacant. Consequently these statistics do not give any useful information regarding the actual level of new job creation.
