§ Mr. Dudley SmithLast month, in the area covered by the Dudley employment exchange there were provisionally 2,970 males registered as unemployed, of whom 1,522 were wholly unemployed, and 96 notified vacancies for males remained unfilled. The corresponding figures for Stourbridge were 6,877; 1,119 and 200.
In these areas redundancies involving about 400 workpeople have so far been notified as due to occur this year.
