HC Deb 25 November 1985 vol 87 cc392-3W
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

asked the Paymaster General how many additional jobs have been created in the United Kingdom economy in the last 12 months.

Mr. Alan Clark

Estimates of the numbers of jobs created are not available. Net changes in the number of jobs may be calculated by comparing estimates of employment levels for different dates. The net increases in the employed labour force (which includes employees in employment, the self employed and members of Her Majesty's Forces) in the United Kingdom between June 1984 and June 1985 was 255,000.
