HC Deb 20 July 1967 vol 750 cc332-3W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Labour how many men were employed in Wales, Scotland and England respectively in May in each year from 1955 to 1967.

Mr. Hattersley

Estimates of the numbers of male employees in employment for each mid-year from 1956 to 1965 were given in my reply to the hon. Member on 10th February. The mid-1966 estimates were respectively 664,000 in Wales, 1,332,000 in Scotland and 12,699,000 in England. Comparable figures for 1955 are not available and estimates for mid-1967 will be ready early in 1968.
