§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will provide a breakdown of earnings per standard industrial classification.
§ Mr. Jim Lester[pursuant to his reply 27 October 1980, c.142]: Figures of average weekly and hourly earnings for each significant minimum list heading of the standard industrial classification—distinguishing manual and non-manual employees, and men and women—are published in tables 4 to 7 (pages All to A18) of part A of the report on the new earnings survey. Copies of the 1979 report are available in the Library. Part A of the 1980 report will be published next month.
