§ 16. Mr. EVERARDasked the Minister of Labour approximately the number of agricultural workers in the county of Leicester who are at present unemployed?
§ Miss BONDFIELDAs agriculture is not insured under the Unemployment Insurance Scheme and facilities for registration by personal attendance at the Ministry's offices are not generally available in rural areas, I regret that comprehensive statistics of unemployment among agricultural workers are not available.
§ Mr. EVERARDIs it not a fact that a few weeks ago the right hon. Lady said that she was trying to get statistics, and has she made any effort to get them?
§ Miss BONDFIELDThe inquiry is proceeding.
