HC Deb 17 February 1896 vol 37 c467
MR. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he was now in a position to announce the decision of the Government as to the reappointment of the Committee on the Unemployed?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

The Government are of opinion that it would be desirable to reappoint that Committee, and the reappointment shall be made as soon as possible. ["Hear, hear!"]

MR. PICKERSGILL

Will the terms of reference be the same as those of the former Committee?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

As far as I know, there is no reason for changing the terms of the reference.
