§ Miss BONDFIELDAt 31st March, 1931, the revised number of persons recorded as unemployed by the German public Employment Exchanges was 4,743,931. Information is not available which would enable me to state the number of persons included in this figure who would not be insured against unemployment in this country; but the total comprises 362,272 persons who are normally employed in agriculture, horticulture, cattle-breeding, forestry, fishery and domestic service.
