HC Deb 13 December 1945 vol 417 c620
69. Mr. A. Edward Davies

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will publish a monthly report showing the number of workers employed in each industry and trade.

Mr. Isaacs

A statement is being published each month showing the changes in the distribution of manpower, including separate figures of the expansion of employment in home civilian industries and services and manufacture for export. I propose also to publish each month in the "Ministry of Labour Gazette "a statement giving the available information as to the number of persons employed in each industry.

Mr. Bossom

Would the Minister give a list of those who are unemployed as well as those who are employed?

Mr. Isaacs

The figures of unemployed are published periodically.
