§ 5. Sir Percy Hurdasked the Minister of Labour the result of the review of the Register so as to ascertain the suitability for employment of all persons who have been unemployed for a month or more; and whether, in order to show the true state of unemployment, the Register will no longer include the unemployable?
§ Mr. BevinThe review covers a large number of persons, and has not yet proceeded far enough to enable me to publish results. The point raised in the last part of the Question will receive consideration. I would point out, however, that experience is proving that in present circumstances opportunities of employment can often be found, by way of training or otherwise, for men who have been unemployed for long periods.
