§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that, following upon the highest unemployment figure for the month of November for three years, the December figure has risen, and that this figure is also the highest for three years; and what action he has taken or intends taking to reduce both the numbers of unemployed and the growing upward trend.
§ Mr. HigginsThe answer to the first part of the question is "Yes". On the second part I have no statement to make at the present time.
