§ Mr. Hancockasked the Paymaster General how many new full-time or full-time equivalent jobs have been created in Portsmouth since 1983.
§ Mr. LeeInformation about numbers of jobs created is not available from my Department's statistics. Net changes in employment can be given but, for areas smaller than regions, only for those dates when censuses of employment are taken. The latest available figures for Portsmouth are from the September 1981 census of employment and are available in the Library. The September 1984 census estimates for local areas are not yet available.
