§ Mr. WoodThe number of unfilled vacancies for every 100 persons registered as wholly unemployed in November is not yet available. The October figure for Great Britain was 37 unfilled vacancies for every 100 persons wholly unemployed.
§ Mr. RobensIf there is this lockout on Monday night in the shipbuilding industry in Dundee, will the 2,000 men who will then be out of work by being locked out by their employers go on to the local register of unemployed or in what way will these figures appear?
§ Mr. WoodI do not know in what precise circumstances it will occur. The right hon. Gentleman knows, however, that if they are put out of work, the men will presumably go on to the register of unemployed.
