§ 28. Mr. Brockwayasked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the fact that unemployment has doubled in Slough during the last months, what steps he is taking to reduce it.
§ Mr. D. PriceThe increase in unemployment in Slough in the last months has been caused mainly by the rise in unemployment of workers in the construction industry. The numbers should decrease when the weather improves. My right hon. Friend would not be justified in taking any special steps in the matter.
