§ 71. Mr. Brewisasked the Minister of Aviation how many firms in Scotland are engaged on design or component manufacture for the aircraft industry.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsI regret that the official statistics do not provide the information sought by the hon. Member. There are about 20 establishments in Scotland which are included within the Standard Industrial Classification 383, the classification normally used to describe employment within the aircraft industry. This does not, however, include firms in the electronics industry, or firms in other industries whose secondary interest is in supplying equipment to the aircraft industry.
