HC Deb 11 May 1933 vol 277 c1715W
Sir B. PETO

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will arrange to have the number of men engaged in the industries covered by the treaty between the British Government and the German Reich, referred to in Command Paper 4297, and the number of people unemployed each month recorded in each case separately, so that the effect of the alterations in the tariff in these industries can be gauged?

Sir H. BETTERTON

Figures of the numbers insured and unemployed are compiled and published for coal mining and musical instrument manufacture. I regret that it is not practicable to compile such figures in respect of the other items mentioned in the Command Paper.
