§ Mr. Wyn Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will estimate the number of persons employed in the sperm whale product industries and the impact of a ban on such imports on employment in these industries.
§ Mr. John FraserI regret that it is not possible on the basis of the statistics maintained by my Department to identify the number of persons whose employment is dependent on sperm whale products or to assess the possible employment effects of any ban on the import of such products.
