§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many(a) men and (b) women were in employment in Wales in each year since 1984; and if he will indicate the number which were (a) full-time employees, (b) part-time employees, (c) full-time self-employed, (d) part-time self-employed and (e) on Government employment and training programmes.
§ Mr. David HuntFigures for men and women in employment and those on work-related Government training programmes may be accessed on-line by the staff in the Library of the House, although information distinguishing between full and part-time male employment was available in census of employment years only prior to 1989.
