§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAIt is estimated that the total number of established civil1198W servants, both industrial and non-industrial, in receipt of less than £350 per annum is about 216,000. As my Noble Friend is aware, there are, in addition, certain unestablished civil servants who are excepted from the Unemployment Insurance Acts. For fuller details, I would refer him to the Memorandum submitted by the Treasury to the Royal Commission on Unemployment Insurance which is printed on pages 324 to 327 of Part VI of the appendices to the Minutes of Evidence taken before the Commission.
