HC Deb 12 April 1989 vol 150 cc604-5W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the annual number of(a) full-time and (b) part-time working women for each year since 1979 in (i) Greenock and Port Glasgow, (ii) Strathclyde and (iii) Scotland as a whole.

Mr. Lang

The table gives the number of(a) full-time and (b) part-time women employees in employment in Scotland for September each year since 1979, and the available information on women employees in employment for Strathclyde region and Greenock and Port Glasgow parliamentary constituency.

Information for Strathclyde and Greenock and Port Glasgow is available only from the 1981 and 1984 census of employment. For 1981 analyses for parliamentary constituencies do not distinguish full-time from part-time employees.

The figures for Scotland for 1984 onwards may be revised when the results of the 1987 census of employment available later this year.
