I propose to take Questions Nos. 172 and 175 together.

At the end of February 2015 a total of 42,088 persons under the age of 25 years old were in receipt of jobseeker's benefit, jobseeker's allowance or signing on for credits. A breakdown of this number is detailed by scheme, county of local welfare office, and duration in the attached tabular statements.

It should be noted that the county level statistics indicate the number of people signing-on for payment at an office located in the county indicated. As the catchment area of many local offices cross county borders this data is not equivalent to the number of people residing in each county who are signing-on.
