§ 45. Mr. DAYasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the appointment of a non-party committee of the House for the purpose of considering the present need for the alleviation of privation and want caused through unemployment in many of the distressed areas?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)After recent experience I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by trying to set up a committee such as my hon. Friend suggests.
§ Mr. DAYHas my right hon. Friend considered the advantages of a Treasury grant as a means of alleviating this distress?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThat is a totally different question. As a matter of fact, the Treasury is finding money.
