HC Deb 20 April 1931 vol 251 cc600-1
65. Mr. McSHANE

asked the Minister of Labour whether she will make available for Members of this House copies of the recent German Report upon Unemployment?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Lawson)

I presume that, my hon. Friend is referring to the first report of the German Advisory Commission on Unemployment. The official text of this report has not yet been received, but a summary of the recommendations as published in the German Press is given on page 136 of the current issue of "The Ministry of Labour Gazette," a copy of which I am sending to him.

Mr. WISE

In view of the importance of this report, will the hon. Gentleman consider circulating it as a White Paper, as it contains very important recommendations in regard to the reduction of hours of work, and other matters?

Mr. LAWSON

If the document comes to the Ministry of Labour, I shall draw my right hon. Friend's attention to the hon. Member's suggestion.

Forward to
