§ Mr. W. Hamiltonasked the Minister of Labour if he will publish the figures showing the amount of unemployment among men, women, boys, and girls. respectively, in each of the last six months in the West Fife area.
§ Mr. HeathThis was not one of my Department's regular local offices, but an agency which gave very limited services. When the agent resigned last month, transfer of these services to the office at Llandovery, which was already responsible for general services in the area, appeared preferable on practical grounds to the appointment of a new agent. Llandovery is 11 miles away, but unemployment benefit is paid by post and claimants are not required to attend to sign the register.
