HC Deb 11 November 1952 vol 507 c745
17. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Labour the number of people in Cardiff who have been registered as unemployed for more than six months.

Mr. Watkinson

Four hundred and sixty-eight at 15th September.

Mr. Thomas

Would the Minister indicate whether that is an increase or a decrease?

Mr. Watkinson

I am sure the hon. Member will be glad to know that that is some decrease on the figure at the same time last year.

Mr. Thomas

Thank you very much.
