HC Deb 23 April 1929 vol 227 c723W
Mr. SEXTON

asked the Minister of Labour the number of miners in each coalfield who have been unemployed for more than a year; and the proportion of the total number of unemployed who have been without employment for more than a year?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

I regret that statistics on these points are not available at present, but if the hon. Member will repeat his question in a week's time, I may be able to furnish, at any rate, part of the information for which he has asked.
