HC Deb 14 July 1988 vol 137 c579 4.49 pm
Mrs. Alice Mahon (Halifax)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. In the past you have very kindly helped me when I have tried to raise the issue of the closure of the KP Foods factory in my constituency. I wonder whether you can help me further. I have since discovered that 550 of the workers who will lose their jobs in that factory will not show up in the Government's unemployment statistics. Perhaps you can guide me to the Department and the set of statistics in which I will find those 550 workers listed.

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Lady knows that it is not my role or function to give tactical advice. I am sure that there are others better qualified than me to do that.
