asked the Minister of Labour if, in view of the official figures that there were on 25th May last 29,244 unemployed in hotel, boarding houses, and club services, he will state exactly what kind of work these persons normally do; and why, in view of the shortage of workers of this nature, there are so many unemployed?

I am sending my hon. Friend a list of the occupations in this group, from which he will see that it covers a considerable variety of employments, in many of which, so far as I am aware, there is not a shortage of workers.
