   Corrected some of the regional data about claiming unemployment benefits. The sentence 'The North West saw the largest increase of 7.4% on the previous year, followed by the South East at 6.1%', now correctly reads 'The South West saw the largest increase of 7.6% on the previous year, followed by the North West at 7.4%'.
