§ 85. Mr. Edelmanasked the Minister of Labour what are the latest figures for unemployment in the motor cycle industry; and what steps are being taken to find employment for these people.
§ Mr. HareSeparate figures are not available for the motor cycle industry. In the group of industries concerned, which also includes three-wheeled vehicle and pedal cycle manufacture, the number of persons registered as unemployed on 16th October was 1,563, of whom 1,238 were temporarily stopped. My local officers are doing all they can to place those seeking work.
