HC Deb 08 July 1975 vol 895 cc146-7W
70. Mr. Fairbairn

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what percentage of persons employed in the manufacturing industry is directly employed in production.

Mr. John Fraser

I have been asked to reply.

I regret that the precise information is not available. However, recent information obtained from the regular employment survey indicates that about 63 per cent. of employees in manufacturing industries were other than administrative, technical or clerical workers.
