§ Mr. Prescottasked the Secretary of State for Employment what is his Department's estimate of the total amount of people employed in the fishing industry in Hull including those who service the industry and are employed in the fish food processing industry in Hull; what it is as a proportion of Hull labour force; and if he will break the figure down into industrial groups.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithIn June 1971, the latest date for which figures are available, there were about 2,500 people employed in fishing in Hull; this represented 1.8 per cent. of all employees in employment in the area. I regret that information is not readily available for the other activities mentioned.
