asked the Minister of Labour the total number of unemployed in Scotland at the latest date; what percentage does that figure bear to the number of registered insured workers; what was the number registered at Coatbridge and Airdrie for the same date; and what percentage does that number bear to the total of registered insured workers at these exchanges

Mr. Isaacs

At 14th January, 1946, the number of unemployed insured persons suitable for ordinary employment on the registers. of employment exchanges in Scotland was 63,681 or 4.4 per cent. of the number insured at July, 1945. The corresponding figures for Coatbridge and Airdrie were 1,881 or 13.6 per cent. and 1,361 or 10.3 per cent. respectively. The total number of insured persons in January is not known and the percentage of unemployed cannot therefore be calculated.
