HC Deb 14 November 1932 vol 270 c741
36. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he give the House any information or statistics as to the extent of unemployment in rural areas?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Major Elliot)

No statistics are available of agricultural unemployment, but such general information as I have indicates that unemployment even among regular workers is greater than the average in recent years, especially in certain districts?
