[HL4621]
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Culture, Media and Sport (Lord McIntosh of Haringey)Three million jobs in the United Kingdom are dependent upon trade with the European Union. Data are not readily available to calculate an equivalent figure for euro-zone jobs dependent upon trade with the UK.
