HC Deb 08 December 1978 vol 959 c102W
41. Mrs. Renee Short

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what estimate he has made of the proportion of the work force which is likely to be employed in manufacturing by 2010.

Mr. Golding:

I have made no such estimate. The methodology of forecasting national manpower requirements so far ahead is not well developed and any figure would be conjectural.
