§ Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Labour what approximate number of the 16,500,000 people he estimates to be in employment after the war will be married and unmarried women, respectively.
§ Mr. BevinI have not made any estimate on this point and it would not be profitable to do so until we are nearer the end of the war.
§ Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Labour the total number of married women without dependent children within the registration ages and the number of those that are in employment full-time and part-time.
