HC Deb 30 July 1931 vol 255 cc2449-50
35. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Health whether he has given further consideration to the position of unemployed persons who are members of approved societies in December next; and whether he will be in a position after the Summer Recess to make proposals to the House for the purpose of dealing with this problem?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, I hope to be in a position to make a statement shortly after the Recess.

Sir K. WOOD

Will the hon. Gentleman observe the latter part of my question?

Mr. GREENWOOD

A statement usually contains proposals or something approaching them.

Sir K. WOOD

It may very well contain nothing at all.
