§ 47. Mr. GEORGE THORNEasked the Minister of Labour the number of operatives eLgaged in the glove industry in this country, and the average percentage of unemployment during the year 1924?
Sir A. STEELMAITLANDAccording to the population Census of 1921 the number of persons in the glove industry of Great Britain was 10,444, including employers and persons working on their own account. I am unable to give the average percentage of unemployment as the figures for this industry are not tabulated separately.
