§ Mr. MacGregorasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many dental technicians there were in each of the years from 1973 to 1977 in Great Britain and in the county of Norfolk, respectively.
§ Mr. DeakinsThe numbers of whole-time equivalent dental technicians of all grades, including apprentices and students, employed in hospital and community service dental laboratories were as follows:
1973 588 1974 560 1975 602 1976 782 The figures for 1977 are not yet available.
I regret that the figures for dental technicians employed in Norfolk or outside the hospital and community dental service are not available centrally.
