HC Deb 20 June 1995 vol 262 c223W
Mr. Alan Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proportion of the work force in(a) Swansea, (b) West Glamorgan and (c) Wales is employed on a temporary basis. [29512]

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Information on the work force employed on a temporary basis in Swansea and West Glamorgan is not available centrally. The latest available information for Wales is based on the labour force survey conducted in winter 1994–95—three months ending February 1995—and relates to employees rather than the work force. It estimates that 9 per cent. of employees of working age in Wales had jobs that were not permanent in some way.
