HC Deb 23 October 1958 vol 592 c264W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that during July, 4,000 car and cycle workers were unemployed and 10,000 on short-time; and what action he proposes to take to improve this position.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I am aware of the figures. The number unemployed in July represented 1.2 per cent. of those employed in the industry. My local offices will continue to assist those unemployed to find other work.
