HC Deb 24 February 1931 vol 248 c1949
46. Colonel BURTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the annual cost to the Exchequer and to the rates of the schemes already approved by the Unemployment Grants Committee?

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

I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to the recently published report of the Unemployment Grants Committee, Command 3744, in Appendix VI, of which is set out the latest available information as to the estimated annual Exchequer liability in respect of schemes approved for grant through the Committee. I have no information as to the annual cost to the rates entailed by these schemes.
