HC Deb 18 April 1940 vol 359 c1152W
Mr. Rostron Duckworth

asked the Minister of Labour what is the measure of unemployment among fully-trained nurses and where such unemployment mostly exists?

Mr. E. Brown

On 4th March there were registered at local offices 237 wholly unemployed men and 993 wholly unemployed women for employment as nurses, of which 54 men and 310 women were in the London area. I am unable to say without special inquiry how many of these were fully trained nurses.
