8. Captain TERRELLasked the Minister of Labour the amount of unemployment in the agricultural districts of England and Wales and how it compares with the total for this time last year?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI am afraid I cannot give separate statistics of all persons unemployed in agricultural districts as distinct from urban districts, but there were 2,764 shepherds, horsemen, cattlemen and labourers registered as unemployed at Employment Exchanges in England and Wales at 6th May, as com- 124 pared with 2,792 a year ago. In addition there were 294 women and 228 juveniles in these occupations registered at 6th May, as compared with 67 women and 88 juveniles registered a year ago.
Captain TERRELLCan the right hon. Gentleman say how many agricultural labourers are unemployed in England and Wales?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAI will try and get the figures if my hon. Friend will put the question down.
