HC Deb 23 February 1972 vol 831 c322W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what are the male and female job losses and gains by employment sector categories, in the South-West of Scotland since the publication of the document, "Strategy for South-West Scotland".

Mr. Dudley Smith

My Department has no way of identifying all job gains and losses. While we can measure the net changes in employment between the mid-year dates for which local employment estimates are compiled, the estimates for mid-1971 will not be available until later this year.
