Question:
To ask the Minister of Finance and Personnel, pursuant to AQW 37644/11-15, for a breakdown by constituency of the total number of people who are employed in (i) accommodation and food service activities; and (ii) convention and trade show organisers.


Answer:
Due to the disclosive nature of the data in the “convention and trade show organisers” sector, it is not possible to provide a breakdown of the number of employee jobs in the requested sectors separately.
The combined total number of employee jobs in “accommodation and food service activities” and “convention and trade show organisers”, by constituency, is provided in Table 1 for the year 2013 (the latest available).
