HC Deb 11 June 1931 vol 253 cc1175-6
7. Sir KINGSLEY WOOD

asked the Minister of Labour the amount of the indebtedness of the Unemployment Insurance Fund to date and the unexhausted amount of authorised borrowing on that date; and when it will be necessary to make further provision in respect of the fund?

21. Captain PETER MACDONALD

asked the Minister of Labour how soon it will be necessary to ask Parliament to sanction further borrowing by the Unemployment Insurance Fund?

Miss BONDFIELD

The amount of Treasury advances to the Unemployment Fund outstanding to-day is £85,620,000 leaving an unexhausted balance of borrowing powers of £4,380,000. It is likely that this balance will be exhausted early in July, 1931, and further provision will be necessary before that date.
