§ Mr. MORGAN JONESasked the Minister of Labour the number of unemployed and the percentage of unemployment registered at the Taff's Well Employment Exchange on the last available date?
Mr. STANLEYThe number of unemployed persons, aged 14 years and over (insured and uninsured), on the registers of the Taff's Well Employment Exchange at 25th February, 1935, was 679. I am unable to state what percentage this figure represents of the employable population in this area, but among insured persons aged 16–64 the proportion recorded as unemployed at the same date was 34.4 per cent. of the total number insured at July, 1934.
