HC Deb 16 July 1931 vol 255 c743
7. Mr. ISAACS

asked the Minister of Labour the amount of money that has been promised through her Department towards the cost of building a new town hall in the Metropolitan Borough of Southwark, also the date upon which the application and plans were received, the date upon which the borough council was notified that a grant would be made, and the total cost of the scheme?

Miss BONDFIELD

No application in respect of the construction of municipal offices has been received by the Unemployment Grants Committee from Southwark Borough Council.

Mr. ISAACS

Is it untrue that a promise has been made that a certain sum of money would be granted?

Miss BONDFIELD

Quite untrue.
