To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many people are employed in the confectionery, cake and biscuit industries in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Lee

In September 1987, the latest date for which figures are available, there were 129,000 employees n employment in the bread, biscuits and flour confectionery industries in Great Britain. The figure is unadjusted for the effects of seasonal variations. Estimates for the United Kingdom are not available.
