Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Labour what percentage of the insured population in Mid-Wales is currently employed in manufacturing industry within the area.

Mr. Fernyhough

At mid-1966, the latest date for which information is available, about 12 per cent. of the estimated numbers of all employees in Mid-Wales were in manufacturing industries (Orders III to XVI of the Standard Industrial Classification).

For this purpose Mid-Wales has been regarded as comprising the counties of Cardiganshire, Montgomeryshire, Merionethshire, Brecknockshire and Radnorshire.
