HC Deb 27 May 1930 vol 239 cc966-7
3. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Lord Privy Seal how many new factories have been opened in the distressed areas as a result of his proposals for dealing with unemployment?

Mr. THOMAS

I cannot add anything to the reply which I gave on the 15th April last to the right hon. Member for West Woolwich (Sir K. Wood), a copy of which I am sending to the hon. and gallant Member.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

How many factories has the right hon. Gentleman prevented from closing down?

Mr. ARTHUR MICHAEL SAMUEL

Does the right hon. Gentleman expect capital to be invested in new factories while his friends are continually saying that they want to do away with capitalism?
