Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that the numbers signing on at these local labour exchanges have increased substantially in recent times? What steps does he propose to take to remedy this situation?
That is a separate question. The question is a statistical one.
This is a very serious question for the people concerned.
Nevertheless, the Deputy's supplementary is a separate question.
