§ 81. Mr. C. Hughesasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the percentage of the insured population of the county of Anglesey who are unemployed is 8.2 per cent. as compared with 1.6 per cent. for the United Kingdom as a whole; and what steps he proposes taking to alleviate the position.
§ Mr. H. StraussYes. The proportion is high, especially in winter, notwithstanding the new industry which has been introduced since the war. We shall continue to do what we can to help existing industries in Anglesey and to encourage new developments.
