§ 9. Sir KINGSLEY WOODasked the Minister of Labour whether, in the case of those borough councils of London who had not in February last accepted the Ministry's works schemes to absorb numbers of the unemployed in their respective districts, she has endeavoured to induce them to put the same into operation and, if so, with what result; and whether any further councils have now agreed to assist the unemployed in this way?
§ Miss BONDFIELDA further approach was made in March last in the case of those London metropolitan borough councils entitled to grants for relief works on a transfer basis which 1101 had not availed themselves of the terms offered, but so far, there has been no response.
§ Sir K. WOODIs the right hon. Lady going on with her efforts in that direction?
§ Miss BONDFIELDCertainly.
