85. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the Minister of Labour to what extent he has been able to meet the needs in manpower of the Scottish coalfields; and if he will give the figures for different areas.

The manpower needs in the Scottish coalfields have been substantially met and there are at present no vacancies for inexperienced adult workers. I am sending my hon. and gallant Friend the particulars about the different areas for which he asks.
