HC Deb 25 June 1931 vol 254 c595
19. Mr. TOM SMITH

asked the Minister of Labour the position with regard to schemes of work submitted by the Goole Urban District Council for consideration by the Unemployment Grants Committee?

Miss BONDFIELD

Since 1st June, 1929, Goole Urban District Council have submitted to the Unemployment Grants Committee eight schemes of work for the relief of unemployment, estimated to cost £39,350. All the schemes have been approved for grant from Exchequer funds.

Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

Can the right hon. Lady say whether the building of the Humber Bridge has been taken into account in formulating these schemes?

Miss BONDFIELD

That does not arise out of the question.
