asked the Minister of Labour what were the numbers and percentages of persons in the shipbuilding and ship-repairing industry unemployed in the country generally and in each of the shipbuilding centres, respectively, as at 13th December, 1937, and 17th January, 1938, respectively, or other convenient dates?

I am having this information extracted, and will circulate a statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT as soon as it is available.

Will the right hon. Gentleman give the percentages for Greenock and for the country generally?

I will answer the question precisely, and, if the hon. Member wishes for further particulars, I will see what I can do to give him supplementary information.
