HC Deb 26 July 1909 vol 8 c974W
Mr. PIKE PEASE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can now state the result of his inquiries regarding the possibility of improving the statistics of unemployment issued by the Board of Trade?

Mr. TENNANT

The statistics of unemployment published by the Board of Trade are continually being extended and improved as opportunity occurs. When the proposed system of Labour Exchanges is in working order, it will doubtless be possible to obtain fuller information from that source than is now available.
