87. Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Labour how many persons were registered as unemployed at his Department's Falmouth and Redruth exchanges, respectively, at the last count, in September 1959, and twelve months ago, and the percentages these figures represent of the numbers insured there.

Mr. Heath

At Falmouth, 1,015 at 16th November, 1959, 242 in September, 1959, and 808 in November, 1958; the respective unemployment percentages were 9.6, 2.3 and 7.7. At Redruth, 534 at 16th November, 1959, 383 in September, 1959 and 605 in November, 1958. Unemployment rates cannot be computed for Redruth alone.
