HC Deb 30 March 1933 vol 276 c1195W
Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the Minister of Labour if he is able to estimate the number of men and women who were in employment in 1913 in trades and industries which are at present insurable

Sir H. BETTERTON

I regret that statistics are not available from which any close estimate can be made of the numbers of men and women in employment in 1913 in the industries which are now within the scheme of unemployment insurance.

Mr. GRAHAM WHITE

asked the Minister of Labour if he can give any recent figures to show the gain or loss to individual industries in respect of payments and receipts under the Unemployment Insurance Acts?

Sir H. BETTERTON

Particulars are not kept of receipts and payments under the Unemployment Insurance Acts appropriate to individual industries, but I am having estimates made and will communicate with the hon. Member.
