§ Mr. BurginAs I have already informed the hon. Member, the figure for which he asks is not readily available. I do not 365 think that the value of the information would be commensurate with the work involved in obtaining it.
§ Mr. HerbertWhile thanking the right hon. Gentleman for his reply, I beg to give notice that if I can I shall raise this subject in the Debate on unemployment to-day.
