HC Deb 22 June 1931 vol 254 c42W
Mr. BATEY

asked the Minister of Labour the number of miners in the county of Durham who are in receipt of unemployment benefit and the number in receipt of transitional benefit?

Mr. LAWSON

At 18th May, 1931, the total number of male claimants to benefit in the coal mining industry classification in County Durham was approximately 44,000, but I am unable to separate this figure into ordinary and transitional benefit.
