Mr. LI. Williams

asked the Minister of Labour what was the number of mineworkers employed in the county of Monmouth in January, 1952; and what is the number now employed.

Mr. Whitelaw

Figures for this area are available only for mid-year. In 1952 there were 25,900 employees in coalmining compared with 20,300 in 1962, the last date for which figures are available.
