HC Deb 17 January 1983 vol 35 c83W
Miss Joan Lestor

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish a table showing the average industrial earnings of women and men in each member country of the European Economic Community.

Mr. Alison

Figures relating to the average hourly earnings of manual workers in production industries, distinguishing men and women, in October 1981 for the countries of the European Community have been published in the Eurostat Statistical Bulletin on Wages and Salaries (6–1982, published November 1982), a copy of which is available in the Library. Later figures are not yet available.
