HC Deb 06 April 1927 vol 204 c2059
56. Mr. GIBBINS

asked the Minister of Labour the number of boys and girls registered at the Liverpool Employment Exchanges and the number receiving benefit?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

At 28th March, 1927, there were on the registers of Employment Exchanges and Juvenile Employment Bureaux in the Liverpool area, 1,307 boys and 1,694 girls. Of these 437 boys and 221 girls had claims to unemployment benefit current at that date, but I am unable to say how many were in receipt of benefit.
