HC Deb 28 March 1928 vol 215 c1152
15. Sir R. THOMAS

asked the Minister of Labour whether the Industrial Transference Board grants to miners and others transferred from one place to another financial help towards the cost of travelling and removal?

Mr. BETTERTON

Arrangements are already made for advancing the fares of workpeople transferred through the Employment Exchanges, and, in the case of insured workers, part of the fare may be paid from the Unemployment Fund. I understand the Industrial Transference Board is considering whether any additional facilities are required.

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

Have any transfers already been made and, if so, to what counties?

Mr. BETTERTON

The question does not deal with that point.

Forward to
