§ Mr. David PorterTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what estimates her Department makes of the numbers of people in work in Suffolk and Norfolk in jobs which had not been created 10 years ago; and if she will make a statement.
§ Mr. McLoughlinNo records are kept of jobs created; only estimates of the net changes in the numbers of employees in employment are made. The earliest and most recent figures for employees in employment by county are from the censuses of employment for September 1981 and September 1989. Between the two census dates the numbers of employees increased by 41,400 in Suffolk and by 30,500 in Norfolk.
