HC Deb 29 June 1925 vol 185 c2028W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Minister of Labour in what industries unemployment is at present increasing; and to what he attributes these increases?

Mr. BETTERTON

The principal industries in which there have been marked increases of unemployment in the last few months are coal-mining, woollen and worsted, and canal, river, dock and harbour service. The reasons for these increases cannot be adequately discussed within the limits of a Parliamentary answer.
