§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Minister of Labour what is the number of work people of Leadhills, Lanark, who are unemployed; and how the present figure compares with that one year ago.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodResidents of Leadhills register at the employment exchange at Lanark where, on 12th May. 1958, 193 people were registered as unemployed compared with 127 in May 1957. I regret that it is not possible, without a disproportionate expenditure of labour, to ascertain how many of these came from Leadhills.
