HC Deb 27 October 1967 vol 751 c589W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Labour how many men there were at work in Wales on the last date for which the figures are available; and how many were at work in the corresponding month of each of the preceding 10 years.

Mr. Fernyhough

Estimates of the numbers of male employees in employment in Wales in March, 1967 (the latest date for which information is available) and March, 1966 were 634,000 and 657,000 respectively. Before the introduction of the quarterly series of employment estimates, figures were available for June only each year and those for June, 1956 to June, 1966 were given in my reply to the hon. Member's Question of 10th February.
