HC Deb 13 April 1959 vol 603 c53W
50. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Labour how many former employees of the Suez contractors are without work; how many have been found suitable employment; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Separate statistics of former employees of the Suez contractors were not maintained. Up to the 31st July, 1958—when separate statistics ceased to be kept—1,190 British subject from Egypt who had registered for employment had been found work and 174 were then unemployed.
