§ Mr. Donald Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many men were employed in manufacturing industry in the Highlands and Islands in 1945, 1955, 1959, 1964, 1966, 1970 and at the latest available date.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithThe numbers of male employees in employment in manufacturing industries in this area rose from 5,700 in 1959 to 7,000 in 1966 and 8,500 in 1971. These estimates are subject to sampling and other errors and therefore little significance can be attached to small variations in the intervening years. Comparable estimates for years before 1959 are not available.
