§ Mr. GunterProvisional estimates of employees in employment in manufacturing industries in Great Britain at September 1966 and April 1967 were 8,892,300 and 8,568,700, respectively. The monthly surveys, on which these estimates are based, do not cover all service industries and the only reliable estimates for these industries are for June each year. Estimates for June 1967 will became available early in 1968.
