HC Deb 18 March 1985 vol 75 c360W
Mr. Wareing

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many jobs have (a) been lost and (b) been created in service industries since March 1984.

Mr. Alan Clark

Information about job gains and job losses is not available from the Department's statistics but an indication of net changes can be seen by comparing levels of employees in employment at different dates.

Between March and September, the latest date for which figures are available, the estimated number of employees in employment in Great Britain in service industries increased by 75,000.
