HC Deb 14 May 1985 vol 79 cc85-6W
Mr. Wilson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give the numbers of Civil Service and related public service jobs in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow at the last date for which figures are available and express these as percentages of the working population in each city, and the total of such jobs in Scotland, respectively.

Mr. Hayhoe

The table shows non-industrial civil servants employed in the four local authority districts at 1 January 1985 as numbers, as percentages of the working population in the travel-to-work areas for those districts and as percentages of all non-industrial civil servants in Scotland. Corresponding data are not available in such geographical detail for industrial staff of the civil service or for other public service jobs.
