HC Deb 23 July 1986 vol 102 cc226-7W
Mr. Pike

asked the Paymaster General what are the latest figures available for the number of self-employed people in the Burnley travel-to-work area; and what was the 1979 comparative figure.

Mr. Lang

Information of the type requested is available only from the decennial census of population. The 1981 census identified 3,521 self-employed persons resident in the Burnley travel-to-work area.
