§ Mr. Cryerasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish in the Official Report his forecast of unemployment trends in the wool textile industry over the next 12 months; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Jim LesterMy right hon. Friend has made no such forecast. The future number of unemployed wool textile workers depends primarily on the demand for wool textile products, and the success of the British industry in competing in domestic and foreign markets.
