HC Deb 28 June 1972 vol 839 c370W
Mr. McBride

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will now state the total jobs loss in Wales from 1st July, 1970, to 31st May, 1972.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Precise information about job gains and job losses is not available, but an indication of net changes can be obtained by comparing levels of employment at different dates. Based on quarterly estimates, the number of employees in employment in Wales decreased by 6,000 between June, 1970, and September, 1971, the latest date for which provisional estimates are available.
