HC Deb 13 November 1930 vol 244 c1834
37. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Minister of Labour whether in her estimates of grants made for the relief of unemployment, any account has been taken of the £41,056,860 paid by the Government to local authorities under the Derating Act of 1929?

Miss BONDFIELD

No, Sir.

Mr. FREEMAN

Has the right hon. Lady any evidence that these large doles reduce unemployment?

Miss BOND FIELD

I have no evidence.
