§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the current estimate of the number of people who were counted more than once in Government employment statistics in each of the past five years. [22806]
§ Mrs. Angela Knight[holding answer 25 March 1996]: Estimates from the employer-based work force in employment series are derived from employers' reports of the number of people they employ and, as such, individuals holding two jobs with different employers will be counted twice. Estimates of the number of such 580W "double-jobbers" are not available. Estimates from the Labour Force Survey of the number of people with two or more jobs are provided in the following table:
