§ Mrs. Kellett-Bowmanasked the Secretary of State for Industry what is the value and percentage of timber imports to the United Kingdom from (a) the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Comecon countries, (b) Scandinavia, (c) Canada and (d) other sources; and what proportion and what value of the United Kingdom's consumption of timber is produced in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. David Mitchell[pursuant to his reply, 14 March 1980, c. 736]: The value of timber production in the United Kingdom in 1978 was approximately £230 million and represented about 9 per cent. of domestic consumption. Details of imports in 1979 were as follows:
Each paypoint is asked to list the addresses where its employees work and show against each address the number of employees for which it holds pay records. These addresses are known as census units.
The effect of collecting information in this way is to produce census units of varied character. Where an enterprise is a single firm with one address the census unit will correspond to the enterprise. Where, however, the enterprise consists of a parent company with one or more subsidiary companies, the enterprise will be covered by more than one census unit.
263WThere is a further complication in that, in some cases, a single address will be divided into more than one census unit; this happens where the information for different groups of employees, for example, the monthly and weekly paid, is supplied on separate returns.
Available size analyses of census units do not identify female employees.
