HC Deb 01 August 1978 vol 955 c187W
Sir George Young

asked the Secretary of State for Industry how many people are directly or indirectly dependent on the bicycle industry for employment.

Mr. Les Huckfield

This information is not available. It is estimated, however, that in May 1978 13,600 persons were directly employed in the motor cycle, tricycle, and pedal cycle industry (minimum list heading 382 of the standard industrial classification).
