§ 45. Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKEasked the Prime Minister what scheme, if any, has been considered by the Government to pension off aged men now in industry with higher pension rates, conditionally that they retire from industry, so as to absorb some of the numbers of young men between the ages of 18 and 25 who cannot find work?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)No such scheme has been considered by the Government.
§ Mr. CROOKEWill the right hon. Gentleman bear this matter in mind when the report of the Royal Commission is received and the Government are considering the promised comprehensive legisation on Unemployment Insurance, as stated in the House last week by the Minister of Labour?
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes.
