§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services, at the latest available date, how many (a) lone mothers and (b) lone fathers were working (i) full-time for an employer, (ii) part-time for an employer and (iii) were self-employed.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergPreliminary estimates suggest that there were about 900,000 lone parent families in Great Britain in April 1981, but information about the employment position of these families is not yet available. The most recent information currently available is from the general household survey; this relates to the period 1978 to 1980 and can be found in the 1980 report, table 2.18.
