§ 5. Mr. Crouchasked the Minister of Labour the latest figure of unemployment in Dorset as a whole and in North Dorset; and how these figures compare with those of a year ago.
§ Sir W. MoncktonThe numbers of unemployed persons on the registers of all employment exchanges in Dorset at 14th June, 1954, and 15th June, 1953, were 838 and 854 respectively. The corresponding figures for employment exchanges in the North Dorset constituency were 185 and 178.
§ Mr. CrouchI thank my right hon. and learned Friend for these excellent figures.
