asked the Minister of Labour whether he will state, in respect of Great Britain as a whole and of the following districts, the numbers of disabled ex-service men registered as unemployed, at the latest available date, and the percentage this represents of the numbers of adult males unemployed in the same districts, namely: Accrington, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bradford, Burnley, Blackpool, Hull, Huddersfield, Leeds, Manchester, Oldham, Salford, Stockport, Southport and Wigan; and in respect of other districts where the percentage is exceptionally higher than the average for the country as a whole?

I am having the available particulars for the areas mentioned by the hon. Member extracted and will communicate them to him as soon as possible.
