§ Mr. HANNONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give the number of unemployed persons in France, Italy and Belgium, respectively, at the latest date for which statistics are available?
§ Mr. SHAWI have been asked to reply. Summaries of the most recent official returns of unemployment procurable for all countries which publish statistics on this subject are given each month in the "Ministry of Labour Gazette" under the heading, "Employment Overseas." For France, Italy and Belgium no figures have yet become available of more recent date than those given on page 69 of the current (February) issue of that journal, a copy of which is being sent to the hon. Member.
