HC Deb 17 February 1926 vol 191 c1955W
Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Labour if he will arrange when the unemployment cards are next changed to classify persons in the manufacture of motor vehicles separately from those engaged in their repair; and whether he can state how many of these now classified as engaged in the manufacture and repair of motor vehicles, etc., are engaged in manufacture only?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

The sub-classification of this employment group is a matter which I investigated recently. According to my information manufacture and repair of motor vehicles or work on parts which may either be used for new vehicles or for repairs, is performed by the same individuals to such an extent that a reliable classification under the headings of manufacture and repair is not practicable. I regret that I have no statistics on the point.
