asked the Minister of Labour whether he is now in a position to give the approximate number of able-bodied unemployed in the various local authorities that will be taken over by the Unemployment Assistance Board on the second appointed day in April, 1937?

Mr. BROWN

It is not at present possible to revise the estimate given in paragraph 11 of the Appendix to Command Paper 5228, to which I would refer the hon. Member.
