HC Deb 24 June 1930 vol 240 c973
68. Mr. LOUIS SMITH

asked the Minister of Labour the comparative cost of social services provided for the family of a steel worker, man, woman and three children, in Great Britain, France, Belgium and Germany, respectively?

Mr. LAWSON

I regret that comparable statistics on this subject are not available.

Mr. SMITH

Is it possible to obtain such statistics?

Mr. LAWSON

As the hon. Gentleman knows, there have been investigations on this subject from time to time by the International Labour Office, and I believe that such an investigation is now proceeding.

Mr. SMITH

May we expect to have a report?
