HC Deb 13 July 1937 vol 326 cc1087-8W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will state the percentage of unemployment in each of the exchanges of the scheduled areas at June, 1937, and in Hindley and Westhoughton, respectively?

Mr. E. Brown

I would refer the hon. Member to the local unemployment index which is in the Library of the House for convenience of reference. I assume that by the words "Scheduled Areas, the hon. Member means the Special Areas. If so, he will find a list of the relative exchanges set forth comprehensively in my reply to the hon. Member for Belfast South on 22nd February last.
