asked the Minister of Labour whether she has received a report from the National Joint Industrial Council for the Flour Milling Industry as to what is being done by that council in the matter of compensation to employés displaced by the closing of redundant flour mills; and whether she is able to state the number of flour mills closed down since 1st August, 1929, the total sack capacity of these mills, the number of workers displaced, the number since placed in other jobs, the total amount of compensation paid to the displaced workers, and the total amount of compensation now being paid per week?

Miss BONDFIELD

I am aware of the general nature of this scheme, but am not in possession of all the details asked for. I will see how far it is. possible to obtain them.
