HC Deb 04 June 1931 vol 253 cc329-30
16. Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMS

asked the Prime Minister what action he proposes to take with regard to the report from the Royal Commission on Unemployment Insurance?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

The report has only just been handed to the Government, and has not yet been considered.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Will the right hon. Gentleman give the House a clear and definite statement of the Government's policy on this matter at the earliest possible moment?

The PRIME MINISTER

indicated assent.

Sir H. BETTERTON

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when the report will be in the hands of Members?

The PRIME MINISTER

I think there is a question on that point to the Minister of Labour, but, in any event, it will be either this afternoon or, at the latest, to-morrow morning.
