§ 54. Mr. Liptonasked the Minister of Labour if he will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of employment exchanges where the number of registered unemployed exceeds 4,000 persons.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour (Mr. William Whitelaw)Yes, Sir. My right hon. Friend will do this.
§ Mr. LiptonWill the figures be available in HANSARD tomorrow morning?
§ Mr. WhitelawYes, Sir.
§ Mr. A. LewisIn view of the fact that last Thursday the Ministry issued figures 904 showing that there were 800,000-odd unemployed and corrected the figures on Friday to show that there were over 900,000, may I ask whether we can be sure that the Ministry will not correct this figure the following day in HANSARD?
§ Mr. WhitelawI do not think that this arises from the Question, but I assure the hon. Member that the figures were not subsequently changed.
Following is the list of employment exchanges, and associated youth employment offices where appropriate, where the number of persons registered as unemployed on 11th February, 1963, exceeded 4,000.
