HC Deb 15 April 1985 vol 77 c41W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give a breakdown by region of the numbers of people employed in the silk textile industry in each of the last three years for which figures are available.

Mr. Alan Clark

The Department's employment statistics are analysed according to the 1980 standard industrial classification which does not separately distinguish the silk textile industry.
