HC Deb 17 April 1930 vol 237 c3066
3. Major the Marquess of TITCHFIELD

asked the Minister of Labour if she will state the number of unemployed in the Newark Employment Exchange district for March, 1929, and March, 1930?

Miss BONDFIELD

At 31st March, 1930, the number of persons on the registers of the Newark Employment Exchange was 706 as compared with 358 at 25th March, 1929.

Marquess of TITCHFIELD

Is not the increase entirely due to the obsession and futility of the Chancellor of the Exchequer?

Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMS

Will the Minister say to what it is due? She is in charge.
