§ Mr. Gordon Brownasked the Paymaster General if he will estimate the number of additional jobs created in (a) development areas and (b) intermediate areas for (i) all employees, (ii) part-time employees and (iii) the self-employed, from December 1982 to the most recent date for which figures are available; and how many of these additional jobs are second jobs.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkI regret that the information requested is not available from the Department's statistics.
§ Mr. Gordon Brownasked the Paymaster General if he will estimate for each regional area the number of second jobs created since December 1982.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkEstimates from labour force surveys suggest that the number of people in Great Britain with a second job, either self-employed or as an employee, increased by some 150,000 between spring 1983 and spring 1984. The sample size is not sufficiently large to provide estimates by region.
