§ 59. Mr. CHADWICKasked the Prime Minister if he can now make any statement as to the steps which the Government feel able to take to facilitate the use of the Prince of Wales' Fund for the relief of cases of distress due to the cessation of the unemployment benefit; and whether he can recommend greater decentralisation of authority in dealing with purely local cases?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI cannot add anything to the replies which have already been given on this subject.
§ Mr. KILEYMay I ask whether the right hon. Gentleman is prepared to consider the setting up of a Committee to consider what is the best use to which these funds can be put?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI would rather not answer that now, because the 1892 subject is being considered very carefully at this very moment by the Ministry of Labour.
