HC Deb 19 April 1934 vol 288 c1099
1. Mr. BATEY

asked the Minister of Labour the number of persons in receipt of benefit from the Unemployment Insurance Fund in the county of Durham and the number in receipt of transitional payments during the same period?

Employment Exchanges and Juvenile Employment Bureaux in the County of Durham (including Associated County Boroughs).
Date. Insured juveniles, aged 16 and 17 recorded as unemployed. Uninsured juveniles aged 14 to 17, registered as unemployed.
Number. Per cent. of estimated number of insured juveniles at preceding July.
20th March, 1933 4,105 13.7 5,366
19th March, 1934 2,694 10.5 5,725

I regret that the information in the possession of my Department does not enable me to express the numbers of uninsured juveniles unemployed as percentages of the total numbers of such juveniles available for employment, nor do I know how many unemployed juveniles there may be who do not register for employment.
