§ Mrs. Lena Jegerasked the Secretary of State for Employment what is his present estimate of the number of people employed in the contract cleaning industry; and whether he will consider introducing a separate Standard Industrial Classification for contract cleaning employees.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithNo such estimate has been made. Estimates for minimum list heading 865 of the Standard Industrial56W Classification include but do not separately identify contract cleaning employees. The Government have no plans at present to introduce a separate minimum list heading for contract cleaning into the Standard Industrial Classification, which is the responsibility of the Central Statistical Office.
