§ Mr. SUMMERSBYasked the Minister of Labour if he will consider the desirability of publishing the monthly unemployment statistics with comparative figures for the corresponding month in the previous year instead of for the pre- 1318W ceding month, as at present, in view of the fact that such a comparison would more correctly demonstrate the rise and fall of unemployment or employment proportionate to the corresponding period?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONThe practice is already as suggested by my hon. Friend.
