HC Deb 25 July 1989 vol 157 cc654-7W
Mr. Sillars

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give for the years 1966, 1970, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1983, 1987 and the latest available full year(a) the total number of jobs by industrial category in Scotland (b) a breakdown of full-time and part-time employment in each year and (c) for each category including full-time and part-time jobs, the percentage increase or decrease between the last available full year and 1966.

Mr. Lang

[holding answer 24 July 1989]: The information is not available in the precise form requested. Table 1 shows employment in 1966 and 1970 separately for men and women analysed by the 1968 standard industrial classification. There is no information available which separately identifies the number of women working part-time on this basis.

Table 2 shows the number of male, female arid part-time female employees in employment at June 1971 and for each of the years requested up to June 1988, the latest year available, analysed by industrial division of the 1980 standard industrial classification.

Table 3 shows the percentage increase or decrease in employment between June 1971, the earliest date for which estimates are available on the basis of the 1980 standard industrial classification and June 1988, the latest date for which employment estimates are available, consistent with the series shown.

Estimates of the number of part-time male employees are not available for the years for which information has been requested.

lDue to a change of classification in September 1981 the figures for Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing include non-principal tenant farmers prior to 1981 and exclude these from September 1981. In 1981 there were an estimated 6,000 non-principal tenant farmers in Scotland.

1 Due to the change in classification from September 1981 which resulted in non-principal tenant farmers being treated as self-employed, it is not possible to calculate the percentage change in employment over this period for Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing.
2 The percentage change for All Industries between 1971 and 1988 has been estimated after deducting an estimated 6,000 male non-principal tenant farmers in 1971.
