HC Deb 24 March 1926 vol 193 c1195
23. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Labour how many women were out of work and receiving unemployment pay in the London area in the week ending 27th February, 1926?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

At 1st March the number of women on the registers of Employment Exchanges in the area of Greater London was 22,293. Of this number, 19,238 had claims to benefit current, but I cannot say how many were actually in receipt of benefit at that date.
