HC Deb 07 July 1936 vol 314 c1026
55. Mr. J. GRIFFITHS

asked the Minister of Labour the number of unemployed persons registered, on the last available date, at each of the following Employment Exchanges: Llanelly, Ammanford, Garnant, Tumble, Kidwelly, and Carmarthen; the number of such persons who are in receipt of standard benefit; the number who are in receipt of transitional payments; and the number paid allowances in accordance with the scale of the Unemployment Assistance Board?

Mr. E. BROWN

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

Following is the reply:

The following table shows the total numbers of unemployed persons on the registers of the Employment Exchanges in question on Monday, 22nd Tune, 1936, and the numbers of payments made at these Exchanges in the week ended Friday, 26th June, 1936. The numbers of payments during the week do not necessarily relate to the numbers registered as unemployed on the Monday in that week.
