Dr. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the average gross weekly earnings as at April 1991 of male and female full-time employees by industry (sic 1980 class) in(a) Wales, (b) Gwynedd, Clwyd, Powys and Dyfed, (c) the administrative district of Snowdonia national park and (d) the district of Meirionnydd.

Sir Wyn Roberts

The latest available information by industry—standard industrial classification classes—is published in part E of the new earnings survey 1990—tables 118–121—a copy of which is in the Library of the House.

Because figures for Wales are derived from a sample of full-time employees, details for some industry classes are not sufficiently reliable for publication.

There are no reliable figures by industry class for the other areas of Wales requested but the average earnings of all make and all female full-time employees in April 1990 are, where available, given in the table:

Average gross weekly earnings:
Full-time employees on adult rates—pay unaffected by absence
Male Female
Wales 258.6 180.3
Gwynedd, Clwyd, Powys and Dyfed1 253.9 178.1
Gwynedd2 248.4 175.7
Meirionnydd district n.a. n.a.
1 Excluding Llanelli district.
2 Separate figures for the national park area are not available.
