*CAPTAIN FABERI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he will cause a register of names to be kept during the next three and six months at all relief works opened for unemployment throughout the Kingdom showing for how many consecutive days each individual man has worked, with a view to discovering how many genuinely unemployed are in real want of work.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. JOHN BURNS,) BatterseaI think that this information is already in the possession of the distress committees, although they are not required to keep a register in a prescribed form.
§ *MR. JOHN BURNSThe distress committee have, I think, clerks who have to fill in forms, a copy of which I shall be pleased to send the hon. Gentleman.
§ MR. JOHN BURNSI should think so.
