§ Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many persons were recruited for the Navy in the year 1928, and what percentage of such recruits were unemployed at the time of enlisting?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe question as first put down asked for the figures for 1929. This date has now been altered to 1928, but the amount of work involved in getting out the figures for 1928 would be very great. If the hon. Member would like to have the figures for a sample period of seven weeks in 1928, I will have them worked out or, alternatively, supply the figures for the seven weeks of 1929 for which he originally asked and which have been prepared.
