§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish a table showing the number of working days lost per 1,000 employees in the motor-car industries of Great Britain, France, West Germany, Japan and the United States of America, from information available to him from international sources, in the years 1960 to 1970, inclusive.
§ Mr. BryanThe figures for the last four years for motor vehicle manufacturing (MLH 381) in the United Kingdom are given below.
Days lost per 1,000 employees 1970 * (provisional) 2,199 1969 3,232 1968 1,825 1967 1,034 * Figures for 1970 are not precisely comparable with those for earlier years due to changes in the Standard Industrial Classification. I regret that figures for the United Kingdom for the years 1960 and 1966 are not available in a comparable form, and that the other information requested is not available from international sources.
