§ Mr. Penhaligonasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the number of people employed by county and local/district authorities in Cornwall for each of the past six years.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerInformation about the total numbers employed by local authorities is available for June each year. At June 1974 about 16,500 people were employed by the new local authorities in Cornwall compared with about 16,200 people employed by the old authorities at June 1973, 15,500 at June 1972 and 14,700 at June 1971. The figures do not include the police force and traffic wardens. I regret that information for earlier years is not available.
