HC Deb 14 May 1924 vol 173 c1401W
Mr. G. OLIVER

asked the Minister of Labour the number of men employed in the manufacture of motor cars, private cars, and commercial vehicles, respectively, in this country?

Mr. SHAW

The only recent figures available are those relating to the total number of insured workpeople recorded as engaged in the construction and repair of motor cars, motor lorries, motor omnibuses, motor cycles, pedal cycles, and aircraft generally at July, 1923, which, in Great Britain, was approximately 193,000, inclusive of those unemployed. I am not in possession of separate figures for motor vehicles.
