HC Deb 22 December 1982 vol 34 c557W
Mr. KcKelvey

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many jobs have been lost in local government in Wales since May 1979.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The number of persons employed in local government in Wales fell by 6,180 full-time workers and 1,860 part-time workers between June 1979 and September 1982. From the information available centrally it is not possible to say to what extent these reductions have arisen from job losses.
