HC Deb 05 December 1977 vol 940 c556W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what is his estimate of the increase or decrease in job opportunities in the publicly-owned industries in Scotland, over the next two years, for which his Department is responsible.

Mr. Cryer

All possible action is being taken to maintain and create employment in these industries, but no precise forecast of the job opportunities in the period up to December 1979 is available.
