§ Miss BONDFIELDAt 27th October, 1930, there were 3,417 applicants for employment as musicians registered as wholly unemployed at Employment Exchanges in Great Britain, including 2,662 men and 755 women. I am unable to say how many of these were of British nationality. I have no information as to the number of alien musicians at present in employment in this country.
