Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what recent estimate he has made of the number of (a) men and (b) women in each of the sectors covered by his Department's 11 industrial strategies.

The original industrial strategies did not contain estimates for employment by gender. Where sectors are clearly defined by Standard Industrial Classifications (SIC) we have been able to calculate estimates of these using published ONS data. Where this is not the case estimates are unavailable.
