HC Deb 13 December 1922 vol 159 cc2919-20
46. Mr. SULLIVAN

asked the Prime Minister what the Government proposes to do for the 22,937 women who are unemployed in Scotland; and is there any relief work likely to be provided?

73. Captain BENN

asked the Minister of Labour what is his estimate of the number of unemployed women for whom work will be found by the Government schemes proposed; and whether he is aware that in Scotland alone there are at the present moment over 22,000 women out of work?

Sir M. BARLOW

I have been asked to reply. I cannot add anything to the answer given on the 11th December to the question on this subject addressed to me by the hon. Member for Dundee.

Mr. SULLIVAN

I beg to give notice that owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the reply, I shall raise this subject on the Motion for the Adjournment to-night?
