Williamsasked the Minister of Labour whether he will state the number of persons in receipt of allowances under the Unemployment Assistance Board in Ogmore Vale, Pontycymmer, Maesteg, Aberkenfig, and Bridgend Exchange areas, with the number who are receiving winter allowances, and the total weekly cost?
§ Mr. E. BrownAs regards the first part of the question I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to a question put by him on 15th December. With regard to the second part, I regret that information relating to Employment Exchange areas is not available. The Excrtanges referred to are, however, all3100W situated within the Bridgend and Maesteg administrative areas of the Unemployment Assistance Board and particulars with regard to winter allowances in these administrative areas were included in the reply given on the 13th December to the hon. Member for Aberdare (Mr. G. Hall), of which I will send the hon. Member a copy. I will also write to him about the total weekly cost.
