Mr. Ralph Howell
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state the number of jobs (a) in total and (b) as full-time equivalent that have been subject to denationalisation since 1979–80.
Mr. Norman Lamont
The total number of jobs which have been transferred to the private sector as a result of privatisations since 1979 is around 600,000. Information about the number of full-time equivalent jobs which this total represents is not centrally available.
