HC Deb 11 December 1922 vol 159 cc2370-1
66. Mr. SCRYMGEOUR

asked the Prime Minister what steps will be taken by the Government to provide work for unemployed women, seeing that in Scotland alone there are at present 22,937 women out of work?

Major BOYD-CARPENTER

I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 5th December to questions on the subject of unemployment among women addressed to me by the hon. Member for Shettleston and Rotherham, to which I may add that there is a Scottish Committee on Women's Training and Employment administering in Scotland the scheme for home-craft training.
