HC Deb 07 June 1928 vol 218 c341
54. Mr. KELLY

asked the Minister of Labour the value of the unemployment relief schemes approved by the Unemployment Grants Committee for the period July, 1927, to the end of March, 1928?

Captain MARGESSON

I have been asked to reply. The total estimated cost of works promoted by local authorities for the relief of unemployment and approved by the Unemployment Grants Committee from the 1st July, 1927, to the 31st March, 1928, was £1,158,586.

Mr. KELLY

Will the Unemployment Grants Committee still sit to consider these claims, and are they prepared to make further grants?

Captain MARGESSON

I should like notice of that question.
