HC Deb 30 July 1924 vol 176 cc2041-2
24. Mr. BARNES

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will submit a Return to the House showing the average percentage per 1,000 of unemployed persons refused uncovenanted benefit in London and Greater London, on the ground that they are not genuinely seeking employment; and whether he will also state the names of the districts which exceed the average of persons refused, together with the total number of persons on the register, the total number refused, and the percentage per 1,000?

The MINISTER of LABOUR (Mr. Shaw)

I will, as soon as possible, circulate a statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT giving as much of the desired information as is available.

Mr. BARNES

Has the Minister not got the figures to submit to the House?
