It is impossible to state with any degree of accuracy the number of unemployed men in South Wales who are in all respects suitable for work in the coalmines. The case of each man who, at first sight, appears suitable is, how- ever, examined individually by my local officers, and the possibility of guiding such men into coalmining employment is fully explored. Details of the number of men suitable for work in the tinplate industry are not available. Consistent efforts, including a publicity campaign, have been made jointly with employers to recruit men for tinplate manufacture, and will be continued.
