HC Deb 30 April 1931 vol 251 c1782
4. Mr. TOM SMITH

asked the Minister of Labour if she can state the position with regard to schemes of work submitted by the Pontefract borough council for consideration by the Unemployment Grants Committee?

Miss BONDFIELD

Of the two schemes which, as stated in my reply of 5th February to my hon. Friend, were then under consideration by the Unemployment Grants Committee, one small scheme to cost £169 was rejected as ineligible for grant. The other scheme, of an estimated cost of £9,630 has been withdrawn and I understand the Council propose to revise this scheme and submit it again.
