HC Deb 28 September 1931 vol 257 cc32-3
68. Mr. LAWTHER

asked the Minister of Transport if he can now state the policy of the Government regarding grants to be made through the Unemployment Grants Committee on roads and bridges?

Mr. GRAY

I have been asked to reply. No further grants for schemes of road or bridge improvements will be made through the Unemployment Grants Committee.

Mr. LAWTHER

Are we to understand that the policy of the Liberals in the Cabinet is to create more unemployment?

Mr. GRAY

Not at all.

Mr. MACLEAN

Is the answer to the question the interpretation of how to cure unemployment, as stated in the Yellow Book issued by the Liberals?
