§ Mr. G. MACDONALDasked the Minister of Labour the number of unemployed, as a percentage of the employed population, for the latest date for which such information is available, in Great Britain, Germany, and Italy?
§ Miss BONDFIELDThe most recent statistics as to unemployment in these countries are given in the current issue of the Ministry of Labour Gazette, a copy of which I am sending to my hon. Friend. I regret that the available information is insufficient to enable mo to give figures, on a comparable basis, as to the percentages unemployed among the whole of the employé population in each country.
