HC Deb 18 December 1928 vol 223 c2816
79. Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Minister of Health what would be the estimated saving to the Unemployment Insurance Fund for each non-parlour type house erected, if all the labour spent upon it were drawn from the ranks of the unemployed, calculating the insurance cost at 25s. per week per man employed?

Sir K. WOOD

My right hon Friend regrets it is not possible to make such a calculation as the hon Member desires without first discussing and agreeing the assumptions on which it should be based.
