§ 45. Mr. SANDHAMasked the Prime Minister whether the Government will reconsider its decision regarding the voluntary retirement of aged workers in view of the increase in the number of unemployed?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)I have nothing to add to the previous replies on this subject
§ Mr. SANDHAMMay I ask whether this matter has or has not been before the sub-committee, whether that sub-committee has met, and, if it has come to a conclusion, what are the findings of the Cabinet in respect to that matter?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe matter is not settled.
§ Sir W. BRASSIs it not a fact that the right hon. Gentleman promised work or maintenance just before the last election?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThat is exactly our policy.
