HC Deb 15 February 1932 vol 261 c1284W
Mr. THORNE

asked the Minister of Labour whether any employés have yet been discharged from the Royal Army Clothing Factory, Pimlico; and, if so, how many are in receipt of unemployment benefit?

Mr. HUDSON

I am informed that four men and 140 women and girls have so far been discharged. In order to answer the latter part of the question it would be necessary to trace each individual by searching through the registers of a number of exchanges, and this would be a laborious task. I may say that partial inquiries have been made and, so far as they go, benefit was found to be payable in each case.
