HC Deb 11 February 1937 vol 320 c604W
Mr. Lunn

asked the Minister of Labour the total number of insured persons employed in and about the mines in 1920 and the number employed at the end of 1936 in the urban districts of Rothwell, Stanley, East and West Ardsley, Horbury, Flockton and Emley, and in the rural districts of Wakefield and Hunslet, in the West Riding of York?

Mr. E. Brown

I regret that statistics giving the information desired in respect of insured persons are not available. I have asked my hon. and gallant Friend the Secretary for Mines whether he can furnish particulars of the numbers of persons employed at coal mines, situated in the areas named, in December, 1920, and December, 1936, and if this information can be obtained I will send it to the hon. Member.
