§ 37. Mr. LIVINGSTONEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what charges will fall on the Budget of 1926-27 in respect of the Exchequer contribution to unemployment insurance?
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Churchill)The estimated Exchequer contribution to the Unemployment Fund for the current year is £13,105,000. The additional charges to be incurred in 1926–27 are dependent on the decisions taken on the Bill now before Parliament and the course of unemployment, as to which I would refer the hon. Member to the Report of the Government Actuary on the Bill.
