29. Mr. BATEY

asked the Secretary for Mines if he can state the number of Durham miners who have obtained employment in Yorkshire since the 1st December, 1926?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Betterton)

I have been asked to reply. Exact figures are not available, but so far as I have been able to ascertain the number of Durham miners who have obtained employment in Yorkshire collieries since 1st December, 1926, is about 1,800.
