§ 19. Mr. BASIL PETOasked the Minister of Labour whether he will take steps to see that the figures of persons employed and unemployed in industry are so tabulated and returned in future that the figures applicable to all industries that are safeguarded under Parts I and II of the Safeguarding of Industry Acts are available as well as the similar figures for industries protected by the McKenna Duties?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Betterton)This matter is by no means free from difficulty. Since the point was raised last week, I have had no opportunity of discussing it with my right hon. Friend, but I will do so as soon as circumstances permit.
