§ Mr. Hollandasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many people are employed in the industrial and commercial undertakings ancillary to manufacturing such as goods handling, transport, sales and export services.
§ Mr. GoldingInformation is not compiled in the form requested. My Department's statistics are analysed according to the Standard Industrial Classification. The most recent figures for the service industries relate to December 1975 and were published in the May 1976 issue of 599W the Department of Employment Gazette. The employment figures for particular services, however, do not distinguish separately those engaged on ancillary work for manufacturing industries.
