§ Mr. KILEYasked the Minister of Labour if his attention has been called to the statement that there are 10,000 fabric glove makers out of employment; and the number of unemployed fabric glove makers who were receiving unemployment pay during February?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAIt is impracticable from the statistics of unemployment received in the Ministry of Labour to separate fabric from other glove makers. At 28th February there were 609 glove makers registered at Employment Exchanges as totally unemployed, and 507 as working systematic short time.
