§ Mr. McSHANEasked the Minister of Labour whether she can give an analysis of the number of the registered unemployed, for the most recent convenient date, analysed as to trades, sex and age groups?
§ Miss BONDFIELDA detailed analysis by industry and sex of insured persons recorded as unemployed is published each month in the "Ministry of Labour Gazette" and I will send my hon. Friend a copy of the issue for the current month, which will include figures for 23rd June, as soon as it is ready. I regret that a detailed analysis by age groups for a recent date is not available, but some figures in respect of 16th September, 1929, were published on pages 6 to 8 of the "Gazette" for January last, and I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.
