HC Deb 07 May 1931 vol 252 cc535-6
18. Sir NICHOLAS G RATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Minister of Labour what assistance has been given by her Department to applicants in Newcastle-on-Tyne for allotments under the special scheme for the unemployed?

Miss BONDFIELD

Local officers of the Ministry of Labour are co-operating in the scheme by bringing to the notice of unemployed or partly employed persons the facilities available. Posters are exhibited on Exchange premises, forms of application for plots, which are returnable to the local authority, are issued to applicants, and applicants for supplies of seeds, etc., are directed to the appropriate channel for obtaining them.
