§ 31. Mr. MANSFIELDasked the Lord Privy Seal the reason why no reply has been sent to the Saltburn Urban District Council to their application for a giant to enable them to commence certain schemes of work to provide employment for the unemployed in that town, seeing that the application was forwarded to his Department on 29th November, 1929?
Mr. THOMASThe application submitted by this authority was received by the Unemployment Grants Committee on the 2nd December, 1929. It has now been approved for grant. Some delay took place in the sanctioning of the grant, owing to the necessity of obtaining further information from the local authority in order to determine the appropriate terms of grant.
