HC Deb 15 July 1982 vol 27 cc434-5W
Mr. Bevan

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give details of the numbers currently employed in the United Kingdom in tourism, both on a full-time and a part-time basis.

Mr. Alison

The precise information is not available. My Department's employment statistics are analysed according to the 1968 Standard Industrial Classification which does not identify tourism as a separate industry. The followng table gives the estimated numbers of employees in employment for some industries closely associated with tourism. Figures are given for December 1981, the latest available, and also for June 1981. These estimates distinguish females, but not males, employed on a part-time basis.

he will give a breakdown of deaths and injuries on farms for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, respectively.

Mr. Waddington

The following table shows the number of deaths and non-fatal injuries which have occurred as a result of agricultural operations during the period 1972–81. Figures are shown for Scotland, and for England and Wales together; figures for Wales alone cannot be obtained without disproportionate expenditure of effort. Details of fatal injuries only are shown for Northern Ireland as details of non-fatal injuries there are not collected. Deaths include those to employees, and others including the self-employed, children—under 16 years of age—and other non-employees. Non-fatal injuries include employees only.
