HC Deb 01 December 1925 vol 188 c2058W
Sir G. DOYLE

asked the Minister of Labour how many shale oil miners are now out of employment in Scotland?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I have been asked to reply. According to my information the number of workers normally employed in or about shale oil mines who are unemployed as a result of the present dispute, is 4,316, 3,315 other workers, normally employed in subsidiary oil or acid works or collieries, which are also closed, are also unemployed.
