HC Deb 25 February 1982 vol 18 cc478-9W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the average weekly wage in both Dundee and Scotland; what are the corresponding figures for the previous year; what have been the percentage changes; and if he will provide a breakdown for manual and non-manual occupations.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

Separate figures for Dundee are not readily available. The information requested for Tayside and Scotland is set out in the following table. The figures are based on a 1 per cent. sample survey and therefore the estimates of percentage change between years, particularly in the smaller area, Tayside, are subject to a wide margin of error.

transmission lines have been laid underground in Scotland; and what proportion of the grid network this represents.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

The information requested is not held centrally, but I am asking the chairmen of the boards to write to the hon. Member.
