HC Deb 20 October 1952 vol 505 cc60-1W
101. Sir H. Williams

asked the Minister of National Insurance if, in future numbers of the Ministry of Labour Gazette, he will supplement the statistics with regard to the absence of insured persons due to sickness by showing the figures separately for men and women, with the percentage relationship each bears to the respective totals of the number of persons insured in each sex, respectively.

Mr. Peake

Yes, the separate figures for men and women are given in my Ministry's annual report and will on future occasions be included with the total figures in the Ministry of Labour Gazette. There are difficulties in calculating the percentages to which my hon. Friend refers, but I will see what can be done.
