I am circulating in the OFFICIAL REPORT a table showing the numbers registered as unemployed on 26th October in the Glasgow area in the various occupations in the building trades.

Following is the table promised:

Carpenters155
Bricklayers58
Masons77
Slaters30
Plasterers17
Painters470
Plumbers109
Labourers to the above1,062
Others1,019
Total2,997

Of this total, 2,701 had claims to benefit current at 26th October, but I cannot say how many were actually then in receipt of benefit.
