§ MR. HAROLD COX (Preston)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is intended this year to ask for the sum of £200,000, or for any other sum, in connection with the Unemployed Workmen Act; if so, when he proposes to submit an Estimate to the House for this sum; and whether any provision was made in the Budget for this additional expenditure.
§ MR. LLOYD-GEORGEThis subject is still under consideration. No provision 360 for a grant under the Unemployed Workmen Act was included in this year's Budget, or in the Budget of either of the two preceding years.
§ MR. HAROLD COXpointed out that the margin for contingencies would not cover this item.
