7. Mr. HARTLAND (for Mr. CAPORN)

asked the Minister of Labour the average amount of unemployment in the hosiery trade during the first four months in each of the years 1931, 1932, and 1933?

Sir H. BETTERTON

As the reply includes a table of figures, I will, if I may, circulate a statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the statement:
