§ Mrs. Winifred Ewingasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a regional breakdown of the 50,000 jobs brought by the oil industry to Scotland.
§ Mr. William RossThe figure of 50,000–55,000 jobs arising from oil developments in Scotland is an estimate on a national basis. A precise breakdown at the regional level is difficult; but Strathclyde and Grampian Regions may each account for about one-third of the total.
