§ Mr. Spearingasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will state the approximate number of man-hours per million pounds worth of exports in varying types of manufactured goods or articles including power station equipment.
§ Mr. MacGregorIn general, the information requested is not easily available. However, for a recent large power plant order each £1 million of exports has been estimated to provide something of the order of 100,000 man hours of work directly. In addition, around three times as many man hours may be supported in ancillary industries.
