§ Mr. ThorntonOn 8th November, 132, 178, 83, 211 and 424 respectively. An age breakdown is not available for November. The latest analysis is for July. As this information consists of a table of figures I will, with permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsWould the Parliamentary Secretary bear in mind that most of the redundancies occur in the middle-age and younger-age groups, hence the 7 urgent necessity to bring industry to these areas as quickly as possible? Is he aware that we are in great need in this part of Cornwall of additional industry so that the people generally, particularly those in these age groups, may be employed
