§ 72. Mr. Ridleyasked the Minister of Labour how many people during the last two months have been made redundant from manufacturing and service industries, respectively; and how many vacancies have been filled in manufacturing and service industries, respectively.
§ Mr. GunterAs I said in a reply to the hon. Member for Oswestry (Mr. Biffen) on 11th November, redundant workers are under no obligation to register with my Department, so no estimates of total numbers are possible. The Employment Exchanges filled 123,557 vacancies in manufacturing and 132,254 in service industries in the two months ended 9th November, 1966.—[Vol. 735, c.387.]
