§ 38. Mr. SAKLATVALAasked the Minister of Labour the total number of registered unemployed in the Metropolitan borough of Battersea; how many persons have been transferred to date from the mining areas to Battersea under the Government scheme; if any men so transferred have yet been found employment and, if so, how many and at what occupations; and have any of them been offered or accepted employment at less than trade union wages and conditions?
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDNo separate figures of unemployment or transfer are available for the Metropolitan Borough of Battersea.
§ Mr. SAKLATVALAWhat is the area which would cover Battersea, and for which figures would be available?
§ Sir A. STEEL-MA1TLANDThe Clapham Junction Employment Exchange covers that district, but it takes in part of Wandsworth and part of Lambeth. I cannot separate the figures belonging to Battersea. If the hon. Member puts down a question as regards Clapham Junction Exchange, I will try to get the figures.
