§ 19. Mr. G. Robertsasked the Minister of Labour the actual or estimated number of unemployed insured persons who have left the Penygroes and Caernarvon employment exchange areas, either voluntarily or by labour directions, since August, 1945.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsI have no information as to the total number of unemployed insured persons who have left these areas over the period stated, but 313 persons for whom no suitable local work was available at the moment have been placed in employment in other districts by the employment exchanges. A large proportion of these have returned to the area. No direction was issued in any of these cases.
