§ Mr. Michael McNair-Wilsonasked the Paymaster General if he will estimate how many Irish nationals are currently working in the United Kingdom; and how many of these are drawing unemployment benefit.
§ Mr. LangPreliminary labour force survey results for the spring of 1985 indicate that there were about 268,000 persons of Irish nationality in employment in the United Kingdom. The number of those who reported that they were also claiming benefit was too small to be measurable by the labour force survey.
