HC Deb 24 November 1919 vol 121 cc1433-4
58. Dr. M'DONALD

asked the Prime Minister if he will take immediate steps to appoint a Committee to inquire into the best means of adopting compulsory insurance against unemployment and report to this House thereon?

Mr. WARDLE

I have been asked to reply to this question. Several Committees have already made reports on this matter, and I do not think any useful purpose would be served by appointing another Committee at this stage. It is hoped to lay proposals before the House at an early date as a basis for discussion.
