Mr. Sillars
asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give the latest estimate of jobs directly related to North Sea oil developments in Scotland, Aberdeen and Dundee, respectively.
Mr. Golding
The number of workers employed at 30th November 1976 in companies wholly engaged in activities related to the offshore oil industry in Scotland, Aberdeen and Dundee was estimated to be 25,200, 9,900 and 500 respectively. These estimates do not include workers involved in offshore oil-related work in companies only partially engaged in such work, nor those in the construction industry.
