HC Deb 14 March 1940 vol 358 c1339
24. Mr. David Adams

asked the Minister of Labour the total number of unemployed men, women and young persons, respectively, in the county of Durham at the latest convenient date, together with the respective totals for coalmining and shipyard workers?

Mr. E. Brown

I will have the available figures extracted and will forward them to the hon. Member as soon as possible.

Mr. Adams

Can the Minister say whether those figures are large or small, and when he anticipates that those persons will be engaged in useful industry?

Mr. Brown

I have not got the figures yet.
