HC Deb 20 June 1980 vol 986 c682W
Mr. Ray Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the job loss figure over the last 12 months in Wales, giving details of industries.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Precise information on the numbers of jobs lost is not available, nor can an indication yet be given of the net change in employment levels, since the Department of Employment's quarterly estimates of employees in employment for the first quarter of 1980 are not yet available.
