§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what information he has on the percentage of people in Dundee in each industrial sector; and if he can provide a similar breakdown by district council ward from the 1981 census.
Mr. Alan StewartInformation from the 1981 census of employment at district ward level is currently available only for the Dundee employment office area, and this is as follows:
Employees in employment Industry Group per cent. Agriculture, forestry and fishing 0.9 Energy and water supply industries 1.7 Manufacturing industries 26.5 Construction 6.2 Distribution, hotels and catering; repairs 18.4 Transport and communication 6.2 Other services 40.0 All industries and services 100.0 Source: 1981 census of employment
Information at district ward level is available from a 10 per cent. sample of results from the 1981 census of population and is set out in the following table. Figures include both employed and self-employed persons, and relate to residence of workers rather than workplace. Because sample sizes are in some cases very small, the percentages from which they are derived have high associated levels of error. Differences betweeen percentages therefore need to be interpreted with caution.
