BENEFIT (GIRLS AND SINGLE WOMEN).

HC Deb 09 July 1930 vol 241 c450W

Mr. BUTLER

asked the Minister of Labour the number of single women at the present time in receipt of unemployment benefit?

Mr. LAWSON

The latest date for which figures are available is 24th March, 1930, when there were on the registers of Employment Exchanges 196,550 girls and single women who were claimants for unemployment benefit. I am unable to give the number actually in receipt of benefit.
