To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many working days were lost due to industrial action in(a) 1979, (b) 1991 and (c) the last 12-month period for which figures are available.

Mrs. Gillian Shephard

There were just 0.7 million working days lost through industrial action in the 12 months to March 1992, the latest available period, and 0.8 million working days lost in the whole of 1991. These compare with 29 million working days lost in 1979.
