HC Deb 03 March 1924 vol 170 cc999-1000W
Mr. HANNON

asked the Minister of Labour whether he can give the latest available figures of membership of trade unions in Great Britain?

Mr. SHAW

At the end of 1922, the latest date for which complete figures are available, the total membership of trade unions in Great Britain and Northern Ireland was approximately 5½ millions. Detailed figures are given in the "Ministry of Labour Gazette" for October last, a copy of which is being sent to the hon. Member.
