<p>The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.
I have, therefore, asked the Authority to respond.</p><p><strong>Professor Sir Ian
Diamond</strong> | National Statistician</p><p> </p><p>The Lord German OBE</p><p>House
of Lords</p><p>London</p><p>SW1A 0PW</p><p> </p><p>15 February 2021</p><p> </p><p>Dear
Lord German,</p><p> </p><p>As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK
Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking how many
jobs have been lost in each parliamentary constituency in Wales so far in the 2020/21
financial year <strong>(HL13074)</strong>.</p><p> </p><p>The Office for National Statistics
(ONS) produces labour market statistics for small areas from the Annual Population
Survey (APS), which is a survey of people resident in households in the UK.</p><p>
</p><p>The APS cannot be used to measure the number of people who have lost their
jobs, but instead can provide estimates of how the size of the workforce has changed
over time. The survey provides level estimates for 12-month periods, based on interviews
taking place throughout that time. Comparisons should only be made between non-overlapping
survey periods.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1 shows the employment levels for the 12-month
period ending September 2020, the latest available period, and the previous non-overlapping
period for the 12-months ending September 2019, along with the net change between
the two periods, for each parliamentary constituency in Wales.</p><p> </p><p>Estimates
from the APS are from a sample survey and as such are subject to a certain level of
uncertainty. As the information provided is quite extensive, a copy has been placed
in the House of Lords library.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Yours sincerely,</p><p><strong>Professor
