HC Deb 07 May 1931 vol 252 c534
9. Sir A. POWNALL

asked the Minister of Labour what are the bases on which it is estimated that the work schemes of the Government provide, approximately, 2,000 man-years of employment directly and 2,000 indirectly for every £1,000,000 of money expended?

Miss BONDFIELD

I would refer the hon. Member to the speech made by the late Lord Privy Seal in the Debate on 12th February last, in which the basis of this calculation is explained in considerable detail?
