HC Deb 02 March 1977 vol 927 c236W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, aggregating statistics of working days lost through industrial disputes and through unemployment, what was the total number of working days lost for the 12 months between March and February 1970–71, 1971–72, 1972–73, 1973–74, 1974–75 and 1975–76, respectively.

Mr. Golding
