Construction Industry

Mr. Wigley
asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many persons are employed in the construction industry in the county of Gwynedd, and in the Caernarfon-Bangor employment area, respectively, at the most recent available date; and how these compare with the position five years previously.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards
Information on the basis sought is not available more recently than in respect of 1978. I shall write to the hon. Member.
