HC Deb 25 July 1968 vol 769 cc216-7W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the President of the Board of Trade of the 93,000 persons employed in Scotland in establishments set up since 1945 by non-Scottish manufacturing companies, how many are employed in English companies and how many in companies neither English nor Scottish; and if he will list the actual companies giving employment to the 93,000.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Of the 100,000 persons now employed in establishments set up since 1945 by non-Scottish manufacturing companies, about half the total are employed in establishments owned by English or Welsh companies. As a list of the companies is not readily available, we will forward it to the hon. Lady as soon as posible.
