§ 52. Mr. Staintonasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what was the change in the numbers of part-time workers employed in manufacturing, in construction and in distributive and other service industries, respectively, between June, 1966, and June, 1967; and what percentage these figures represent of the total change in numbers employed in each of these sectors.
§ Mr. HattersleyInformation is available only for manufacturing and relates only to female employees. Between June, 1966, and June, 1967, the number of female part-time employees in manufacturing is estimated to have fallen by 45,000, or 9 per cent. This represented about one-sixth of the total decrease in manufacturing employment.
