Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what was the total number of male persons in employment in Scotland at the latest convenient date; and how this compares with the number in October 1964.

Mr. Fernyhough

At September 1968, the latest date for which information is available, it is provisionally estimated that there were 1,280,000 male employees in employment in Scotland. Comparable information is not available for October 1964. The figures for June 1964 and June 1968 were 1,339,000 and 1,279,000, respectively.
