asked the Minister of Labour how many men and women part-time workers there are in the pottery industry.

At mid-March 1966, there were estimated to be about 2,300 female part-time employees in employment in Great Britain in the pottery industry. Corresponding infor- mation for part-time male employees is not available.

asked the Minister of Labour how many vacancies there are for men and women in the pottery industry, and how many of these are for part-time workers or could be filled with part-time workers.

At 13th April, 1966, 130 notified vacancies for men and 641 for women in the pottery industry remained unfilled. The Department's industrial analysis of notified vacancies remaining unfilled does not distinguish between full-time and part-time and it is not practicable to say how many of the vacancies could be filled by part-time workers.
