22. Mr. WESTWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the estimated average number of weeks' employment per person employed, with total average wages per person employed, at the Second Anglo-Scottish Beet-Sugar Corporation, Limited, works at Cupar, Fife; and the average amount of subsidy per person so employed?

The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour)

I cannot at present give the information requested. I am, however, making inquiry on the subject and will communicate further with the hon. Member when information is available.

Mr. JOHNSTON

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether it is still the case that men are being employed by this firm for 81 hours per week?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I cannot say without notice.
