HC Deb 30 January 1986 vol 90 c592W
19. Mr. Dorrell

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the total number of employees in employment in Northern Ireland at the latest date for which figures are available.

Dr. Boyson

At September 1985 there were 463,250 employees in employment in Northern Ireland. Although this level is 1,490 down on the corresponding September 1984 estimate, recent information points to a stabilisation after five years of decline.
