§ 57. Mr. WILLIAM PRESTONasked the Minister of Labour if grants by the unemployment grants committee must be made solely under the conditions laid down in the circular issued to local authorities on 9th November dealing with the transfer of labour from depressed areas; and, if not, whether such grants will be made on the conditions existing prior to the issue of the circular referred to?
§ Mr. BETTERTONThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; to the second part in the affirmative. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of the Circular which, I think, makes the position quite clear.
