§ MR. O'GRADY (Leeds, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether in the amended Unemployed Workmen's Act, promised in the King's Speech this year, it is intended to incorporate provisions for afforestation, sea coast erosion, reclamation of waste lands, improvement of the port and docks of London, the acquirement of land for farm colony purposes, and the co-ordination of the relief works of local authorities; and further, whether provisions will be incorporated in the amending Bill to make a charge on the National Exchequer for the purposes named.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. JOHN BURNS, Battersea)I am afraid that I cannot give any intimation as to what the provisions of the Bill will be.
