HC Deb 04 April 2000 vol 347 c407W
Mr. Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to the Minister of State for Europe's letter of 21 March on the threat to employment in Grimsby, if he will list the industries and firms in which the threatened workers are employed, and how many such jobs will be lost. [116832]

Mr. Vaz

Britain in Europe's research was based on a national estimate of British jobs dependent on servicing EU export markets. The figures were broken down by constituency based on share of national employment within that constituency and its industrial breakdown. This methodology makes it impossible to predict precisely which jobs would be lost.
