HC Deb 27 July 1972 vol 841 c377W
Mr. Ford

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will detail the number of men employed in the aircraft industry, giving separate figures for air-frames, engines, avionics and equipment.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Estimates are available only for the whole of the aerospace equipment manufacturing and repairing industry—Minimum List Heading 383 of the Standard Industrial Classification. The provisional estimate for this industry of the number of men employed in Great Britain at May, 1972, was 179,200.
