§ Mr. Alan Clark[pursuant to his reply, 4 July 1984, c. 197]: The following table gives the available information for Great Britain from 1971 to 1983 based on the 1980 standard industrial classification. Figures are given for males and females in part-time employment using information from the censuses of employment taken in June each year from 1971 to 1978 and in September 1981, the latest available. Censuses were not conducted in 1979 and 1980 and the estimates of part-time employment for those years and for June 1981, 1982 and 1983 relate only to females.
