asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will obtain the totals of unemployed in other European countries at any recent given date?

I have been asked to reply. The most recent particulars relating to unemployment in the principal foreign countries are given month by month in the Ministry of Labour Gazette. I should add that figures covering the whole field of industry are not available for any of these countries and for this and other reasons any comparison between the figures for different countries should be made with great caution.
