Mr. Isaacs

At 11th February, 1946, the numbers of unemployed insured persons on the registers of Congleton Employment Exchange were 143 males and 20 females.

Is the Minister aware that the figures of unemployment in this town are steadily increasing, and will he make representations to the President of the Board of Trade for the scheduling of this area?

Mr. Isaacs

I will look into that.
