HC Deb 12 February 1931 vol 248 c561
21. Mr. C. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Labour how many persons who applied for new unemployment insurance books during 1930 had at one time or another been agricultural labourers?

Miss BONDFIELD

Statistics giving the information desired are not available.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Would it not be advisable for the right hon. Lady to get some statistics so that she may know how to stop the flow of the agricultural labour into the towns?

Miss BONDFIELD

I will consider that matter.
