HC Deb 17 July 1995 vol 263 c890W
Mr. Milburn

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many permanent jobs have been created in each year since 1981 net of losses and relocations. [34141]

Mrs. Angela Knight

[holding answer 13 July 1995]: Information is available only for the net change in permanent employees and comparable information is available only from 1984. The information is given in the table:

Net change in permanent employees in Great Britain:
Spring of early year (thousands)
Net change
1984–85 158
1985–86 88
1986–87 52
1987–88 654
1988–89 628
1989–90 217
1990–91 -354
1991–92 -589
1992–93 -275
1993–94 -11

Note:

Information prior to 1992 has not yet been re-weighted to take account of OPCS revised population estimates and hence there is a discontinuity in the series between 1991 and 1992.
