HC Deb 30 October 1987 vol 121 c459W
Mr. Patchett

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many people were employed in manufacturing industries in the Barnsley, East constituency in each year since 1979.

Mr. Cope

The available employee estimates for constituencies are from the September 1981 and 1984 censuses of employment. An industry breakdown is not available for the earlier year, but the latest estimates indicate that there were 3,500 employees employed in manufacturing industries in the Barnsley, East constituency at September 1984. The figure excludes the self-employed.

Note: The constituency is defined in terms of ward boundaries as at 1981.
