HC Deb 29 April 1980 vol 983 cc419-20W
Mr. Tom Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the present work force employed in the radar production industry of the United Kingdom; and if he will list British firms employing such people.

Mr. Jim Lester

This Department's employment statistics are analysed according to the minimum list headings of the standard industrial classification (1968 edition). This does not identify separately the manufacture of radar equipment which is included with alarms and signalling equipment, radio transmitters and receivers and electronic capital goods in heading 367—radio, radar and electronic capital goods.
