HC Deb 12 October 1939 vol 352 cc527-8W
Mr. A. Edwards

asked the Minister of Labour if his attention has been drawn to the number of journalists of all grades who have been dismissed or placed on short time; and whether he will consult with this prosperous industry with a view to maintaining staffs as far as possible?

Mr. E. Brown

The records of my Department do not show any considerable number of journalists registered as unemployed, but I would call attention to the recent appeal to employers by my right hon. Friend, the Lord Privy Seal, an appeal which I trust will have the full support of all employers in every industry.
