§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many, and what percentage, of the United Kingdom work force works more than 21 hours a week, between 16 and 21 hours a week, between eight and 16 hours a week, and less than eight hours a week, respectively.
§ Mr. GoldingInformation is not available in the form requested. The following New Earnings Survey results relate to employees belonging to PAYE schemes, other than private domestic servants and some other small categories, employed within Great Britain in April 1975 and who were expected to work a specific number of hours, other than overtime, in a normal week. Where an individual had more than one such job the hours for different jobs were not added together. Information about the remainder of the work force is not available, but many of them probably worked for not more than 21 hours per week.
