asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he can now say what the average weekly earnings for full-time adult manual workers were in October 1974; and how these compare with the same months in 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1973.

Details for October 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1973 have been published in the Gazette—February issues of the subsequent year. Figures for October 1974 are due to be published next month in a Press notice as soon as available and subsequently in the Gazette.
