9. Mr. Murrayasked the Minister of Labour the number of unemployed men who were signing on at the various employment exchanges in the Spennymoor Division, County Durham, for the week ended 4th December, 1943; how many are now signing on for week ending 11th March, 1944; and whether he can hold out any prospect of those still unemployed obtaining a job.
Mr. MurrayIs the Minister aware that I am indeed grateful for what lie and his Department have done for the unemployed men in my division but is he also aware that men are still idle, who have worked for two years out of doors, in all kinds of weather, who cannot obtain a job at the present time, and who are certified as medically unfit for work inside a factory? Can he not do something to remove the depression of these men?
