HC Deb 28 November 1950 vol 481 c925
17. Mr. Donner

asked the Minister of Labour the average number of redundant employees in firms making military planes since January, 1950.

Mr. Isaacs

I am not clear what the hon. Member has in mind, but if he will write to me I will see what information is available.

Mr. Donner

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there are, and have been throughout the period, pockets of unemployment in aircraft factories? Is not that a remarkable example of the national situation under Socialist planning?

Mr. Isaacs

The hon. Gentleman's Question does not make that clear. I have no evidence of unemployment inside the factories.
