HC Deb 07 June 1989 vol 154 c161W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Prime Minister what is the Government's estimate of the number of jobs which will be lost in United Kingdom manufacturing as a result of the completion of the internal market.

The Prime Minister

Completion of the single market should result in job gains over a number of years: whether or not these potential gains are achieved will depend on how employers and employees respond to the opportunities that the single market will present.
