HC Deb 18 June 1931 vol 253 c1916
14. Mr. MESSER

asked the Minister of Labour how many men are employed on the extension of the Tube railway north of Finsbury Park; and how many persons are estimated to be employed on the manufacture of the materials used in the construction?

Miss BONDFIELD

The latest returns record 1,944 men as directly employed on 29th May last on the Southgate extension of the Underground Railway. At least an equal number of persons may be regarded as employed indirectly in connection with the scheme in the manufacture of materials or otherwise.
