§ 8. Mr. Woodasked the Minister of Labour how many people were unemployed in the boroughs of Hull and Bridlington on 30th April, 1950; what proportion these figures were of the respective insured populations; and how they compare with the unemployment figure throughout the country on that date.
§ Mr. IsaacsFigures are not available for 30th April, but at 15th May the numbers registered as unemployed at the Hull and Bridlington employment exchanges were 4,965 and 362, respectively, representing about 4 per cent. of the insured population in each case. The corresponding percentage for Great Britain was 1½.
