HC Deb 14 September 1931 vol 256 c505
44. Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Prime Minister whether the Royal Commission on Unemployment has yet presented its final report?

The PRIME MINISTER

No, Sir.

Mr. MACLEAN

Can the Prime Minister give the House any information as to when the Commission is likely to present its final report?

The PRIME MINISTER

Some time ago I told the House that I had asked that no time should be wasted, and there the matter stands at the moment.

Mr. KIRKWOOD

Is it not the case that when the right hon. Member for Derby (Mr. J. H. Thomas) was removed from his office of Lord Privy Seal the Prime Minister, instead of appointing a new Minister for unemployment, set up a committee with Lord Weir as the chairman to find work for the unemployed? I want to know if that committee, has found work for the unemployed?

Mr. SPEAKER

That has nothing to do with the question on the Paper.
