§ Mr. Warbeyasked the Minister of Labour how many men registered as disabled were unemployed on 18th April, or the nearest convenient date; how many unemployed men at that date were, in addition, prima facie eligible for registration; and what proportion the sum of these 106W two categories represented of the total number of unemployed men.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe number of males registered as disabled who were unemployed on 15th April, 1946, was 53,526, and it is estimated that there were in addition over 11,000 males recorded at local offices as unemployed on the same day who though not at present registered as disabled are handicapped by disability. These figures include men regarded as needing employment under sheltered conditions. The total of unemployed males at the date nearest to the above (8th April), was 247,128.
