HC Deb 12 February 1958 vol 582 cc47-8W
78. Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Labour if he will publish in HANSARD a table of figures showing the number of registered unemployed in the parliamentary constituency of Kelvingrove, or for the employment exchanges which cover this constituency, for each of the months from October, 1951, until the latest convenient stated date.
