§ MR. HART-DAVIES (Hackney, N.)To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether a grant, under the provisions of the Unemployed Workmen Act of 1905, has been applied for by the Hackney Borough Council; and, if so, whether it has been refused, and on what grounds.
(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) I do not find that I have received any application from the Hackney Borough Council for a payment from the Parliamentary grant in aid of expenditure under the Unemployed Workmen Act, 1905. I may add that the borough council were not a body to whom payments from the grant could be made. In London, such payments were only made to the Central (Unemployed) Body.
