§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what were the number and percentage of people employed in manufacturing services, construction and primary industries in each district ward in Dundee at the 1981 census; and what subsequent comparative information on such district wards he possesses.
§ Mr. Lang[pursuant to his reply, 19 January 1987, c. 397]: The tables give estimates derived from the 1981 census of population. Many of the figures have been estimated from small numbers in a 10 per cent. sample and are therefore subject to proportionately large sampling errors. For example, for an average ward, there is a roughly one in three chance that an estimate of 100 is in error by more than 30, and a roughly one in three chance that an estimate of 600 is in error by more than 60.
No more recent information is available.
