Baroness Miller of Hendon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many of the 674,000 public-sector jobs that are forecast by the Office for National Statistics and the Treasury to have been created between May 1997 and 2006 contribute to gross national product; and in what way. [HL4305]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

All public sector jobs contribute directly to gross national product by virtue of the associated production of goods and services.
