HC Deb 15 November 1934 vol 293 c2118
4. Mr. THORNE

asked the Minister of Labour the number of men, women, and young people out of employment in the borough of West Ham on the last day of March, 1933 and 1934, and to the nearest available date?

Mr. STANLEY

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

Following is the statement:

Mr. STANLEY

Some investigation will be required in order to obtain the information desired. I will send the hon. Member a statement as soon as the information becomes available.

Mr. TINKER

Is any attempt made to examine this question? Is there any procedure for looking ahead to find them work in the future?

Mr. STANLEY

The whole subject is under the closest review. If the hon. Member wants the exact figures that he asks for in his question, it will take a certain amount of investigation.
