Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many firms and employees were known to be on short-time working in Scotland at the end of May.

I regret that information is not available for the end of May. However, in the week commencing 9th June 1975 in Scotland 18,000 workers at 104 establishments were known by my Department to be on short-time working.
