HC Deb 27 July 1925 vol 187 cc52-3W
Mr. TAYLOR

asked the Minister of Labour what occupations are included in the unemployment returns published in the "Labour Gazette" under the heading of distributive trades, and the numbers in each classification of trades, with the appropriate percentages of unemployment?

Mr. BETTERTON

All persons engaged in wholesale and retail dealing are including under the heading of distributive trades. Separate figures are not compiled for the occupations included in this industrial group nor is the group subdivided to show the numbers in each branch of the distributive trade.
