15. Captain WATERHOUSE

asked the Minister of Labour which of the principal countries in Europe show an increase in unemployment during the last month for, which information is available?

Miss BONDFIELD

For most of the principal European countries the latest month for which information is at present available is May, 1931. In none of these countries do the statistics relating to that month show an increase in unemployment as compared with April.

Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMS

Is this Government unique in creating unemployment?
