§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many people were employed in the defence industry in Wales in each year since 1990; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RedwoodThere is no standard definition of defence industry employment. However, the Ministry of Defence publishes regional figures on the number of its own service and civilian staff and estimates of the number of employees in private industry involved directly in world for the Ministry. These figures are shown in tables 1.9 and 2.4 of "UK Defence Statistics, 1994", a copy of which is in the Library of the House.
