with the unemployment problem in Derbyshire submitted to his Department by local authorities; which authorities have submitted such schemes; whether he can give particulars of such schemes; which of these schemes have been approved and which are still under consideration; and the total amount of money involved in each case?

Mr. THOMAS

My hon. Friend will be pleased to learn that, in addition to important road schemes submitted by the county council, 30 schemes have been submitted by 17 local authorities in the county of Derby. As the details involve a number of figures I will, with my hon. Friend's permission, circulate them in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following are the details:

The following applications have been considered by the Unemployment Grants Committee from local authorities in the county of Derby since the 1st June, 1929.

proved in principle under the Trunk Road programme for grants of 80 per cent. and the Highways Committee have decided to recommend the county council to proceed with such works. The county council have submitted a five years' programme consisting of 12 schemes estimated to cost £676,361. Five of the schemes estimated to cost £657,500 are under discussion with the county council. The remaining seven schemes estimated to cost £18,861 have been approved for grant. The Derby County Borough Council have also submitted a programme consisting of six schemes estimated to cost £428,100. As regards two of the schemes estimated to cost £285,000, it will be necessary for the council to obtain Parliamentary powers before the works can be put in hand. Details of a scheme estimated to cost £100,000 are now being examined, but the details of the other schemes have not yet been submitted. In addition to the schemes referred to above, grants have been made during the current financial year to local authorities in the county of Derby in respect of road improvement schemes estimated to cost £73,474 and one scheme in the county borough of Derby estimated to cost £820.
