§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will publish information from international sources in the possession of his Department giving the days lost per worker per year through strikes in Australia, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom, between 1930 to 1933, 1946 to 1954, 1955 to 1960, and 1961 to 1970, respectively.
§ Mr. BryanThe information is available only for the years 1953 onwards. Figures for 1970 will be available towards the end of 1971.
Following is the information:
action he has taken or intends taking to help to place in employment disabled persons registered at the Stratford Exchange, E.5.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithI am aware that disabled people find it harder to get jobs when the level of general unemployment is higher, but there has been 337W little change in the level of unemployment among disabled people in the Stratford area during the past year. The steps that are being taken to assist disabled people to find work which I announced to the House on 25th March should be of assistance.
