Captain TERRELLasked the Minister of Labour whether his returns show any reduction in the number of unemployed 1611W ex-service men for the last month of which he has a record?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe number of unemployed ex-service men on the Live Register of Employment Exchanges at 19th November was 246,323, compared with 190,136 at 15th October. Though the figures for 19th November were still affected by the dislocation caused by the coal strike, I am afraid the situation— apart from that—is by no means improving.
