HC Deb 28 February 1996 vol 272 c584W
Sir Wyn Roberts

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what were the numbers of people in(a) full-time and (b) part-time employment in Wales in (i) April 1979 and (ii) April 1995. [17356]

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Information on the numbers in full-time and part-time employment in Wales is not available for April 1979. However, information from the 1978 census of employment on full-time and part-time employees—excluding the self-employed—is published in appendix iv of the 1986 edition of "Welsh Economic Trends". The number of full-time and part-time employees in 1995, based on the Central Statistical Office's quarterly employment estimates is published in table 1.5 of the February 1996 edition of "Labour Market Trends". Copies of these publications are available in the Library.
