HC Deb 12 May 1931 vol 252 c987
50. Mr. LAMBERT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer from what source the borrowing for Exchequer payments to the unemployment insurance contributions is effected?

Mr. PETHICK - LAWRENCE

The money is borrowed by the Treasury from the National Debt Commissioners.

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

Is there an Exchequer guarantee in the case of the Unemployment Insurance Fund?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

That seems to me to be an entirely different question. If the right hon. Gentleman will put it down, I will inquire into it.
