HC Deb 12 March 1931 vol 249 cc1401-2W
Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the Minister of Labour what special causes account for the large increase in unemployment among local government workers in the Isle of Wight during the past six month's?

Miss BONDFIELD

I have been asked to reply. The industry classification "local government" includes not only insured clerical and indoor staffs employed by local authorities, but also insured persons employed directly by such authorities on outdoor work. I have no quoted above for the three countries are not necessarily comparable one with another.
