§ 41. Sir K. WOODasked the Prime Minister whether he has any further proposals to make to the House for the purpose of mitigating unemployment?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)A description of the principal measures taken by His Majesty's Government in connection with unemployment was given in the recent White Paper. The policy there explained is being actively pursued.
§ Sir K. WOODWill the Prime Minister kindly reply to the question on the Paper, as to whether he has any further proposals to make to the House for the purpose of mitigating unemployment?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThey are all adumbrated in the White Paper.
§ Sir K. WOODPerhaps the right hon. Gentleman will allow me to press for an answer. I am asking him, not about proposals he has already made, but whether he has any further proposals.
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe proposals stated and adumbrated in the White Paper are being actively developed.
§ Sir K. WOODDoes not the right hon. Gentleman think that, since only 86,000 persons have been found employment, the time has now arrived when he should either bring forward fresh proposals or resign his present post?
