HC Deb 27 April 1987 vol 115 c19W
Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Paymaster General (1) what has been the change in the amount of part-time working in the Borders region since 1979;

(2) what has been the change in the number of manufacturing jobs in the Borders region since 1979;

(3) what has been the change in the number of service based jobs in the Borders region since 1979.

Mr. Lee

My Department's statistics for the region monitor only net changes in employment between census dates. No census was taken in 1979, or 1980, and the most recent figures are for September 1981. The September 1984 census estimates for local areas are not yet available.
