HC Deb 20 March 1928 vol 215 cc218-9
69. Lieut.-Colonel WATTS-MORGAN

(for Mr. JOHN) asked the Minister of Labour the number of persons that applied for extended benefit in each month from January, 1927, to January, 1928, at the Tonypandy and Mardy Exchanges; and the number of cases in which benefit was refused?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

As the information regarding Tonypandy (including Tonyrefail) involves a considerable number of figures, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate a statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT. Separate statistics are not available for Mardy, but if the hon. Member so desires I can give him the figures for Ferndale, under which Mardy is included.

Lieut.-Colonel WATTS- MORGAN
