HC Deb 26 November 1928 vol 223 c45
64. Mr. HAMMERSLEY

asked the Minister of Health whether, in determining the formula for arriving at weighted population in the Local Government Bill, he will take into consideration the number of unemployed insured women as well as the number of unemployed insured men?

Sir K. WOOD

The proposals contained in the Bill, which take account of unemployed insured men only, were adopted after careful consideration, but the point raised by my hon. Friend will, no doubt, be discussed on consideration of the Bill in Committee.
