BRITISH UNEMPLOYED
REPORT ANTICIPATED
A FURTHER DECREASE?
(British pfllcial Wireless.)
RUGBY, October 5. The estimates of the Ministry of Labour of the numbers in employment and of. registered unemployed in September will be published on Monday, and it is generally^ anticipated that they will show a continued increase in employment accompanied by a decrease in the numbers unemployed
In a recent speech the Minister of Labour (Mr. Ernest Brown) referred to a suggestion sometimes heard that the decreased number of registered unemployed is due to the transference of persons drawing unemployment insurance pay to poor relief, and explained that the suggestion was baseless, since it was a rule condition for the receipt of poor reliefl that able-bodied unemployed should be on the registers of labour exchanges. The Ministry o£ Health had recently estimated that all but 13,000 of the able-bodied unemployed were so registered and therefore included in the Ministry of, Labour's returns. , •' . ■
He then recalled that between September, 1931> and August last the numbers of registered unemployed fell by 864,0000, and in the same period the estimated number of insured persons to employment increased by. 108,600.
