§ Mr. Doigasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many jobs in Scotland there were directly related to North Sea oil at the nearest convenient date; and how many of these are located in Dundee.
§ Mr. Gregor MacKenzieAt the end of December 1977 there were 25,400 jobs in Scotland in companies known to be wholly involved in North Sea oil work, of which about 900, onshore and offshore, were in Dundee. Information is not available for that date on the number of jobs directly involved in North Sea oil work within companies not exclusively concerned with such work; but in mid-1976 there were an estimated 11,400 jobs in such companies, of which about 200 were in Dundee.
